Definitions

• the present invention relates to a power valve for power assisted pedal operation for operating a clutch or brake.
• the valve is driven by the volume flow generated by an electrically driven pump, which increases the pressure between the master and slave cylinders in an existing hydraulic line. A failure of this pump or the electric motor causes the clutch not, even by an increased force, can be operated. The main reason for this lies in the constructive design of the servo valve necessary for the power assistance during normal operation.
• a further particular embodiment of the invention provides to form a stop by means arranged in the valve bore approach and provided on the pressure valve piston stop surface, which should be located either in the region of the control edge of the inlet blade or the discharge plate of the pressure valve.
• Figure 1 Servovalve in rest position with various constructive solutions for a stop
• Figure 2 Position of a servo valve according to the invention during a system failure with extended pressure valve piston
• Figure 3 Servo valve with provided in the region of the control edge at the outlet stop
• FIG. 4 Servo valve with a stop arranged in the entry lamella
• FIG. 1 schematically shows a support for a pedal force actuation for actuating a clutch.
• the hydraulic system consists of a pedal 1, a master cylinder 2 and a slave cylinder 3, which are connected to each other via the line strands 15 and 16, and a circuit with a pump 4, in which a servo or pressure valve is integrated.
• the power assistance is advantageously arranged between a first wiring harness 15 and a second wiring harness 16, ie between master cylinder 2 and slave cylinder 3 and consists of the hydraulic pump 4 with upstream pressure valve 5.
• the pressure valve 5 also directly on the master cylinder 2 or the slave cylinder 3 be arranged.
• a pressure valve piston 5a and a pressure valve spring 5b are substantially arranged, wherein the pressure valve piston 5a is acted upon by the pressure valve spring 5b with its specific spring force with pressure.
• the pressure valve 5 has a plurality of ports which are connected to the pressure channels 12, 13 and 17 and 18. Except with the pressure valve 5, the pressure channel 18 is connected to the second wiring harness 16. The channel 11 is connected to the first wiring harness 15. Furthermore, the first wiring harness 15 is connected to the control edge 10 of the pressure valve 5. The pressure channel 12 finally establishes a connection to the input 17 of the pump 4. In this figure, the pressure valve piston 5a is shown in its rest position. Between the Pumpenausgang18 and the pressure valve 5, a check valve 14 is provided.
• the pressurized hydraulic fluid from the clutch pedal 1 is first forwarded via the first wiring harness 15 via the channel 11 to the pressure valve 5. This leads to a corresponding pressure to the biasing force of the pressure valve spring 5b is overcome, which has previously held the pressure valve piston 5a of the pressure valve 5 in a position that allowed the pressure fluid flow of the two circuits.
• the pressure valve spool 5 is displaced axially so far that the force built up by the side of the master cylinder 2 and acting on the surface A2 of the pressure valve spool 5a is greater than the spring force applied by the pressure valve spring 5a to the pressure valve spool 5a or the surface A2 - A1 of the pressure valve spool 5 acting force and thus the control edge 10 between the pressure channel 12 and pressure valve slide 5a is reduced.
• This increases the pressure in the hydraulic circuit 4. In this case, the full pressure from the second circuit is directed to and superimposed on the part of the first circuit.
• valve piston 5a and valve spring 5b a certain volume of oil V between the housing and the surface A2 of the valve piston 5a would be included is not available for opening the coupling. If the system failure coincides with a simultaneous engagement, an abrupt change in the pressure in the pressure valve can lead to an uncontrolled force lock on the clutch and thus to a sudden increase in pedal force.
• This check valve 14 may be preceded by a defined diaphragm in parallel to set a defined increase in pressure on the master cylinder 2. Instead of a diaphragm could also pressure over a wide tolerance range at the gap of the slider 10 are reduced.
• the axial travel of the pressure valve piston 5a is to be limited by suitable means, such as a stop.
• suitable means such as a stop.
• the pressure valve piston 5a having a length A can be extended by a certain amount B, so that it rests in a position on the control edge 10 during operation and thus the annular gap is reduced at this point.
• FIG 2 shows one of the above-mentioned possible solution for the realization of a stop in the pressure valve 5, namely by an extension of the pressure valve piston 5a.
• the position of the pressure valve piston 5a is shown during a system failure. In this situation, the pressure valve piston 5a closes the pressure channel or outlet 12 and in the pressure valve 5, only a small volume of oil remains in the space between the pressure surface A2 and GE. housing. The other oil in the hydraulic line is sufficient to open the clutch in this situation.
• a stop 19 is arranged directly in the interior of the housing or in the valve bore.
• a projection 20 is provided for this purpose, which comes to rest with its surface A3 on the stop 19.
• the latter basic idea for the realization of a stop is shown.
• the stop is located in the region of the outlet-side control edge or inlet lamella 13 of the pressure valve 5 and in FIG. 4 on the outlet lamella Ie12.
