Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Hydraulik-Regelventil gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1, sowie eine elektrohydraulische Spannvorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 10.The invention relates to a hydraulic control valve according to the preamble of patent claim 1, and to an electro-hydraulic tensioning device according to the preamble of
Bei eine Regelfeder enthaltenden Hydraulik-Regelventilen bekannter Bauart lässt sich die Regelfeder-Vorspannung mechanisch ändern. Dazu ist es erforderlich, die Abstützung der Regelfeder beispielsweise über Schraubverbindungen zu verstellen. Der exakte Wert der neu eingestellten Vorspannung ist dann nicht bekannt. Es muss beispielsweise über ein Manometer überprüft werden, welcher geregelter Druck sich aus der Umstellung ergibt. Es besteht bei solchen Hydraulik-Regelventilen, insbesondere bei Druckminder- oder Druckbegrenzungsventilen, ein Bedarf, bei manchen Einsatzfällen eine rasche Umstellung der Regelfeder-Vorspannung zwischen zwei genau bekannten Vorspannwerten vornehmen zu können.In a control spring containing hydraulic control valves of known type, the control spring bias can be changed mechanically. For this purpose, it is necessary to adjust the support of the control spring, for example via screw. The exact value of the newly set bias voltage is then unknown. For example, a pressure gauge must be used to check which regulated pressure results from the changeover. There is a need in such hydraulic control valves, especially in pressure reducing or pressure limiting valves, to be able to make a rapid changeover of the control spring bias between two well-known bias values in some applications.
Ein solcher Einsatzfall ist beispielsweise eine elektrohydraulische Spannvorrichtung einer Werkzeugmaschine (wie anhand
Es ist zwar bei elektrohydraulischen Spannvorrichtungen von Werkzeugmaschinen bekannt, den durch ein Regelventil eingestellten Spanndruck elektrisch zu ändern. Hierfür wird ein die Regelfeder abstützender Stellkolben mit einem bestimmten Steuerdruck beaufschlagt, der die jeweilige Regelfeder-Vorspannung erzeugt, und für den Stellkolben eine relativ aufwendige Ventilkombination mit wenigstens einem elektrisch ansteuerbaren Proportional-Druckregelventil vorzusehen. Diese Lösung ist schaltungstechnisch aufwendig und kostenintensiv. Ferner besteht die Gefahr, dass bei einem Stromausfall der Spanndruck vollständig zusammenbricht, was in vielen Fällen nicht zulässig ist, oder dieser Nachteil nur dadurch umgangen werden kann, dass ein zusätzliches Sicherungsventil eingegliedert wird, das bei einem Stromausfall den für den Stellkolben eingestellten Steuerdruck hält.Although it is known in electro-hydraulic clamping devices of machine tools to change the set by a control valve clamping pressure electrically. For this purpose, a control spring supporting the adjusting piston is acted upon by a certain control pressure, which generates the respective control spring bias, and provide for the control piston a relatively complex valve combination with at least one electrically controllable proportional pressure control valve. This solution is circuitry expensive and expensive. Furthermore, there is a risk that in the event of a power failure the clamping pressure completely collapses, which is not permissible in many cases, or this disadvantage can only be avoided by the fact that an additional safety valve is incorporated, which holds the control pressure set for the actuator piston in the event of a power failure.
Bei einem gattungsgemäßen Hydraulik-Regelventil und einer gattungsgemäßen elektrohydraulischen Spannvorrichtung für eine Werkzeugmaschine gemäß
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Hydraulik-Regelventil anzugeben, das baulich einfach, kostengünstig und betriebssicher ist, wahlweise zwei vorab festgelegte, unterschiedliche Regelfeder-Vorspannungen ohne mechanische Manipulationen einstellen lässt und bei einer elektrohydraulischen Spannvorrichtung die gleiche Funktion wie bei der bekannten Lösung gemäß
Die gestellte Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 und des Patentanspruchs 10 gelöst.The stated object is achieved with the features of patent claim 1 and claim 10.
Dass sich das Federwiderlager wahlweise hydraulisch zwischen zwei mechanisch festgelegten Regelfeder-Vorspannpositionen verstellen lässt, die einer höheren und einer niedrigeren Regelfeder-Vorspannung zugeordnet sind, regelt nur ein einziges Hydraulik-Regelventil abhängig von der hydraulischen Betätigung der Federsektion entweder einen höheren oder einen niedrigeren, exakt vorherbestimmten Ausgangsdruck. Wenn es zu einem Stromausfall kommt, der die Hydraulikbeaufschlagung der Federsektion wirkungslos macht, wird die Vorspannung der Regelfeder nicht vollständig oder auf unbestimmte Weise abgebaut, sondern wird bzw. bleibt aufgrund der mechanischen Festlegung stets die vorbestimmte höhere Regelfeder-Vorspannung aufrechtgehalten.The fact that the spring abutment can be selectively adjusted hydraulically between two mechanically fixed control spring bias positions associated with a higher and a lower control spring bias, only a single hydraulic control valve controls either a higher or a lower, exactly, depending on the hydraulic actuation of the spring section predetermined outlet pressure. If there is a power failure, the hydraulic loading of the spring section ineffective makes, the bias of the control spring is not completely or indefinitely degraded, but is always due to the mechanical determination, the predetermined higher control spring bias maintained.
In der elektrohydraulischen Spannvorrichtung wird normalerweise mit dem einzigen Regelventil wahlweise eine von zwei vorbestimmten Regelfeder-Vorspannungen femgesteuert eingestellt, und zwar eine höhere oder eine niedrigere Regelfeder-Vorspannung, aus denen ein höherer oder ein niedrigerer Spanndruck in der Spannvorrichtung resultiert, dessen Wert jeweils genau vorbestimmt ist. Bei einem Stromausfall, der das Magnetventil betrifft, wird zuverlässig der höhere der beiden Spanndrücke gehalten. Auf diese Weise wird baulich einfach und kostengünstig der Sicherheitsaspekt in der Spannvorrichtung erzielt, wie er von vielen Anwendern gefordert ist.In the electrohydraulic tensioner, one of two predetermined control spring biases is normally remotely controlled with the single control valve, namely, a higher or lower control spring bias resulting in a higher or lower clamping pressure in the chuck, the value of each of which is precisely predetermined is. In the event of a power failure affecting the solenoid valve, the higher of the two clamping pressures is reliably maintained. In this way, structurally simple and inexpensive, the safety aspect is achieved in the clamping device, as required by many users.
Um gegebenen Sicherheitsanforderungen gerecht zu werden, ist die Federsektion so ausgebildet, dass das Federwiderlager bei einem Stromausfall selbsttätig die Regelfeder-Vorspannposition für die höhere Regelfeder-Vorspannung hält oder einnimmt. Bei einer elektrohydraulischen Spannvorrichtung für eine Werkzeugmaschine ist es im Regelfall wichtig, bei einem Stromausfall aus Sicherheitsgründen die höhere Regelfeder-Vorspannung und damit das Halten des höheren Spanndrucks sicherzustellen. Das Federwiderlager ist an einer im Stellkolben festgelegten Zugstange angeordnet. Für den Stellkolben ist der erste Anschlag an einer Federhülse angeordnet, die eine steifere, vorzugsweise vorgespannte Haltefeder als die Regelfeder enthält, und ist der zweite Anschlag an der der Regelfeder abgewandten Endseite der Zugstange in der Federhülse angeordnet. Der Hauptzweck der Haltefeder besteht darin, bei einem Stromausfall, der die hydraulische Beaufschlagung des Stellkolbens entfallen lässt, sicherzustellen, dass das Federwiderlager die höhere Regelfeder-Vorspannposition einnimmt.To meet given safety requirements, the spring section is designed so that the spring abutment automatically holds or assumes the control spring biasing position for the higher control spring bias in case of power failure. In an electro-hydraulic clamping device for a machine tool, it is usually important to ensure the higher control spring bias and thus holding the higher clamping pressure in case of power failure for safety reasons. The spring abutment is arranged on a tie rod fixed in the control piston. For the adjusting piston, the first stop is arranged on a spring sleeve, which contains a stiffer, preferably prestressed retaining spring than the control spring, and the second stop is arranged on the end of the tension rod facing away from the control spring in the spring sleeve. The main purpose of the retaining spring is to ensure that the spring abutment assumes the higher control spring biasing position in case of a power failure, which eliminates the hydraulic loading of the actuating piston.
Zweckmäßig ist zumindest einer der Anschläge mechanisch einstellbar, um einen Wert für die Regelfeder-Vorspannung und damit den Wert des geregelten Ausgangsdrucks vorab einstellen zu können. Zweckmäßig sind sogar beide Anschläge mechanisch und unabhängig voneinander einstellbar, so dass beide Regelfeder-Vorspannungswerte nach Bedarf variierbar sind, ohne einander zu beeinflussen.Suitably, at least one of the stops is mechanically adjustable in order to set a value for the control spring bias and thus the value of the regulated output pressure in advance can. Suitably, even both attacks are mechanically and independently adjustable, so that both control spring bias values are variable as needed, without affecting each other.
Aus montagetechnischen Gründen wird hierbei der Stellkolben auf der Zugstange durch ein Spannelement festgelegt. Mittels des Spannelementes ist es gegebenenfalls möglich, auch die Vorspannung der Haltefeder in einem bestimmten Bereich zu variieren.For assembly reasons, in this case the adjusting piston is fixed on the drawbar by a clamping element. By means of the clamping element, it may be possible to vary the bias of the retaining spring in a particular area.
Zweckmäßig ist die Federhülse mit dem Federwiderlager in einem Außengehäuse relativ zu einer im Außengehäuse vorgegebenen Position für die höchstmögliche Regelfeder-Vorspannung verschraubbar. Durch Verschrauben der Federhülse wird der erste Anschlag in die jeweils gewünschte Position eingestellt.Advantageously, the spring sleeve with the spring abutment in an outer housing relative to a predetermined position in the outer housing position for the highest possible control spring bias voltage can be screwed. By screwing the spring sleeve, the first stop is set in the desired position.
Der zweite Anschlag ist an einem in der Federhülse vorschraubbaren Schraubeinsatz angeordnet, so dass sich auch die Position des zweiten Anschlages unabhängig von der Position des ersten Anschlags wählen lässt.The second stop is arranged on a screw-threaded in the spring sleeve, so that the position of the second stop can be selected regardless of the position of the first stop.
In der Federhülse ist zweckmäßig beim ersten Anschlag die Steuerkammer für den Stellkolben vorgesehen, die über einen den Gewindebereich durchsetzenden Kanal mit einem Druckanschluss des Außengehäuses verbunden ist.In the spring sleeve, the control chamber for the actuating piston is expediently provided at the first stop, which is connected via a thread passing through the channel with a pressure port of the outer housing.
Auf dem Außengehäuse ist zweckmäßig ein 3/2-Wege-Magnetsitzventil angeordnet, das mit Versorgungsdruck speisbar ist, vorzugsweise über einen im Außengehäuse untergebrachten Versorgungskanal, der an einen Druckanschluss des Regelventils angeschlossen sein kann. Alternativ könnte der Versorgungskanal auch aus einer anderen Druckquelle beaufschlagt werden.On the outer housing a 3/2-way magnetic seat valve is expediently arranged, which can be fed with supply pressure, preferably via a housed in the outer housing supply channel, which may be connected to a pressure port of the control valve. Alternatively, the supply channel could be acted upon from another source of pressure.

In einem Innengewinde 19 der Federhülse 18 ist ein Schraubeinsatz 20 verschraubbar, der einen zweiten Anschlag 21 für das linksseitige Ende der Zugstange 23 bzw. den Stellkolben 13 definiert. Bei Anlage der Zugstange 23 an dem zweiten Anschlag 21 (bei Beaufschlagung des Stellkolbens 13) bestimmt die Position des Federwiderlagers 12 relativ zum Außengehäuse 16 die niedrigere Vorspannung der Regelfeder 11. Die Gewindebereiche 17, 19 sind abgedichtet, weil die Steuerkammer 30 über einen Versorgungskanal 27 mit einem Versorgungsanschluss 26 des Außengehäuses 16 verbunden ist, um die Steuerkammer 30 mit Druck beaufschlagen oder entlasten zu können. Das 3/2-Wege-Magnetschaltventil 8 ist außen an das Außengehäuse 16 angebaut und ist mit einem Tankanschluss 25 im Außengehäuse 16 verbunden, über den auch der Innenraum der Federhülse 18 druckentlastet wird. Ferner steht das Magnetventil 8 mit einem nicht gezeigten Versorgungsanschluss in Verbindung, der beispielsweise im Inneren des Außengehäuses 16 verläuft und zum Druckanschluss des Regelventils bzw. Ventilglieds 10 führt.In the
Diese Federsektion F des Regelventils R ermöglicht es nicht nur, wahlweise hydraulisch von der Einstellung des höheren Vorspanndrucks der Regelfeder auf die Einstellung für den niedrigeren Vorspanndruck umzustellen (bei Beaufschlagen des Stellkolbens 13), sondern lässt es auch zu, die Positionen der Anschläge 21, 28 individuell und voneinander unabhängig zu verstellen, und zwar entweder durch Verschrauben des Schraubeinsatzes 20 relativ zur Federhülse 18 und/oder durch Verschrauben der Federhülse 18 relativ zum Außengehäuse 16, um vorab zwei bestimmte Ausgangsdrücke des Regelventils festzulegen.This spring section F of the control valve R not only makes it possible to switch hydraulically from the setting of the higher preload pressure of the control spring to the setting for the lower preload pressure (when the
Die Druckversorgung zur Beaufschlagung des Stellkolbens 13 könnte auch von einer anderen Druckquelle als vom Druckanschluss des Regelventils kommen.The pressure supply for acting on the
Bei einem Stromausfall wird automatisch die höhere Regelfeder-Vorspannung (höherer Spanndruck in der Spannvorrichtung) eingestellt, weil bei Anlage des Stellkolbens 13 am Anschlag 28 die Position des Federwiderlagers 12 von der Haltefeder 14 in der Federhülse 18 eingestellt und gehalten wird.In the event of a power failure, the higher control spring preload (higher clamping pressure in the tensioning device) is automatically set, because when the
