Definitions
- the present invention relates to the control of the output of a variable displacement pump. More specifically, the present invention relates to control of an oil pump for oil pressure control in an internal combustion engine, transmission or the like.
- a control system for a hydraulic variable displacement vane-type pump wherein input from an engine control unit actuates a solenoid for controlling the engine oil pressure to the desired level under any operating conditions.
- Figure 1 is a hydraulic schematic showing a first embodiment of the present invention
- Figure 2 is a hydraulic schematic showing a second embodiment of the present invention
- Figure 2a is a variation of the second embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 3 is a hydraulic schematic showing a third embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 4 is a hydraulic schematic showing a forth embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 5 is a hydraulic schematic showing a fifth embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 6 is a hydraulic schematic showing a sixth embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 7 is a hydraulic schematic showing a seventh embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 8 is a hydraulic schematic showing an eighth embodiment of the present invention.
- a method of controlling a variable displacement pump 10 for an engine is provided.
- the solenoid 26 is normally, or is defaulted to, the closed position when no power is supplied to the solenoid 26.
- the solenoid 26 When the solenoid 26 is in the closed position there will be high fluid displacement by the pump 10.
- an emergency event such as when there is an electrical failure, the solenoid 26 will move to its default position so the engine oil pressure will remain high and that the vehicle can continue operating until it can serviced.
- the solenoid in a closed position the system could also be configured so that there is fluid displacement with the pump 10.
- the pump is a vane-type variable displacement pump, as set forth in co-pending application Serial No. 10/021,566, filed December 12, 2000 , the specification of which is incorporated by reference herein.
- the pump is designed for an engine lubrication circuit.
- the pump is generally shown at 10.
- the pump 10 may be a vane pump which has the displacement varied by movement of an eccentric ring 11. It is also possible to incorporate other types of pumps, in which the stroke or displacement may be adjusted during operation.
- a flow control valve 12 is used to mechanically vary the displacement of a pump 10, by moving the eccentric ring 11, based on an engine pilot pressure 14 acting on the flow control valve 12 which controls the volume of oil in each control chamber on each side of the eccentric ring 11.
- a compression spring 16 acts against a pilot pressure 14 for maintaining some pressure on the flow control valve 12 and to provide a return pressure in absence of the pilot pressure 14.
- the flow control valve 12 in this particular embodiment is a spool valve such as a three-way spool valve.
- the flow control valve 12 can be a spool valve of any type of configuration.
- the flow control valve 12 does not necessarily need to be a spool valve at all, as will be seen in Figure 6.
- the compression spring 16 gives the spool portion of the valve 12 travel distance that is proportional to the differential between the actual pressure of the system and the desired or target system pressure.
- the differential pressure is variable by way of a valve 18, which controls the amount of pressure acting on the variable target piston 20 against spring 22 for varying the amount of spring 16 pressure on valve 12.
- An engine control unit (ECU) 24 monitors the engine conditions and parameters such as temperature, speed and engine load. In this embodiment, the engine control unit 24 monitors the engine conditions pressure, speed, and engine load and then selects a desired oil pressure, and sends the appropriate current to the solenoid 26 acting on valve 18. This varies the pressure acting on the piston 20, changing its position and thereby reducing or increasing target pressure, depending upon the desired engine oil pressure target.
- the flow control valve 12 then regulates the pump's 10 eccentric ring 11 to maintain target pressure.
- valve 112a includes a closed center valve portion 112b.
- the main operating difference is the use of a pressure reducing and regulating valve 128.
- the regulating valve 128 creates a fixed input pressure for the solenoid valve 118 in that the pressure, which in Figure 1 was taken from the discharge port of the pump 10 into the solenoid control valve 18, is now at a constant pressure and, therefore, provides better control of the variable target pressure acting on piston 120. This ultimately provides improved control over the desired movement of the eccentric ring 111 of the pump 110.
- Fig. 2a operates in a similar manner as Fig. 2.
- the main difference between Fig. 2 and Fig. 2a is that the pressure reducing and regulating valve 128 of Fig. 2a creates a fixed target pressure that acts directly on the piston 120.
- the solenoid 126 opens or closes to further adjust the pressure of fluid acting on the piston 120.
- the solenoid 126 moves the valve 118a to the closed position there is an increase in variable target pressure.
- the solenoid 126 moves the valve 118a to the open position the variable target pressure will decrease as the fluid moves to the sump with less resistance.
- unreduced pressure is fed to the spool valve 112A before pressure the pressure reducing and regulating valve 128 after the filter.
- this embodiment is also a passive system for controlling oil flow and oil pressure since an engine control unit 124 controls the solenoid 126 for positioning the piston 120, however, the engine control unit 124 does not directly sense oil pressure.
- the solenoid 326 directly controls the movement of the variable target piston 320.
- the engine control unit 324 is connected to the solenoid 326 and controls the actuation of the solenoid.
- the configuration of this embodiment i.e., the solenoid acting directly on the variable target piston 320
- this embodiment includes a solenoid 426 attached to the flow control spool valve 412 directly, to regulate the stroke or de-stroke conditions of the pump 410.
- the solenoid 426 is connected directly to the engine control unit 424.
- the engine control unit 424 samples the pilot pressure from a pressure transducer in the engine circuit in order to make the proper calculations as to the best spool position based on the current actual and target pressures.
- Return spring 416 provides the return pressure for adjusting the flow control spool valve 412 in absence of solenoid 426 input, and allows for predetermined functions of spool position versus current.
- FIG. 6 like items referenced in Figure 5 are similarly designated with reference numerals differing by 100.
- a very simple control mechanism is used by the control solenoid 526 moving a valve 512A for controlling the de-stroke actuator of the pump 510.
- the solenoid 526 adjusts the pressure acting on the large piston which pushes against the discharge pressure acting on the small piston on the opposite side.
- An on-stroke return spring is provided for balancing the eccentric control ring against control inputs which can also work alone (as shown).
- the engine control unit 524 samples the pilot pressure from a pressure transducer in the engine circuit in order to make the proper calculations as to the best valve 512A position.
- Figure 7 is another embodiment wherein engine control unit 624 directly controls a solenoid 626 which acts directly on either the actuating piston for the eccentric ring or directly on the eccentric ring. This allows direct control of the displacement of the pump 610 based on ECU 624 monitoring of the pilot pressure of the oil pressure circuit.
- Figure 8 illustrates a further embodiment wherein the solenoid 726 directly actuates the spool flow control valve 712.
- the ECU 724 is monitoring the engine oil circuit pressure and adjusting the solenoid in accordance with the necessary engine oil pressure, as calculated by the ECU.
- pressure from the discharge is reduced by the solenoid valve and used to bias the position of the flow control spool valve 712 against the spring for varying the displacement of the pump.
- Flow across the solenoid can be directed to the inlet port, as shown of the vane pump 710, but can also be drained to the sump.
- Figures 1 through 4 are passive systems which allow the ECU to monitor engine conditions and provide a pressure target to the pump system, but the pump system is self-regulated to the pressure target by mechanical and hydraulic controls.
- Figures 5 through 8 provide active control of the oil pressure by the ECU. In these embodiments, the ECU monitors the oil pressure and actively adjusts the system on a real time basis to control oil pressure in the engine.
