Definitions

  • the invention relates to a valve arrangement
  • a valve arrangement comprising at least one valve unit having an electrically actuatable valve drive and carrying an electrical connection unit designed to connect an electrical cable to which an electrical plug interface accessible from the outside for detachably connecting a connector plug attached to the cable is arranged which is in electrical communication with the valve drive
  • the terminal unit being one of a plurality of valve assembly terminal units which differ in the configuration and / or position and / or orientation of their plug interface and which are alternatively mountable in replaceable fashion on the valve unit, in that they each have a first mechanical interface with which they can each be detachably attached to a second mechanical interface arranged on the valve unit
  • the connection units au addition have first electrical interface means which come in mounting and removing the respective terminal unit automatically in and out of engagement with arranged on the valve unit second electrical interface means, and wherein the valve unit is fixed by fastening elements to a further component of the valve assembly.
  • valve unit and the terminal unit form a firmly assembled unit, this entire assembly must be replaced if the valve assembly due to user-specific requirements of a different type or a different orientation of the connector interface is required. Therefore, in order to satisfy the various desires of the users, a large number of variants of the aforementioned units must be provided, which causes relatively high costs.
  • installation space available for accommodating electronic components in the interior of the terminal unit is severely limited because the external dimensions of the terminal unit can not be increased without impairing the accessibility of the fastening screws required for fastening the valve unit.
  • valve drive which is mounted on the one hand to a valve body and on the other hand can be equipped with one of several terminal units alternatively in exchangeable manner.
  • the fastening elements serving for fixing the valve unit can be actuated from the side having the second mechanical interface and are at least partially covered by the respectively mounted connection unit.
  • the valve unit and the attached terminal unit form an easily detachable interconnected assembly, which allows the user to install the desired electrical connector interface directly on site by replacing the terminal units.
  • All terminal units include a first mechanical interface, mating with the second mechanical interface, through which they may alternatively be mounted to the mating second mechanical interface of the valve unit, the assembly and disassembly procedure automatically resulting in the presence of the respective terminal unit first electrical interface means enter into or out of engagement with matching second electrical interface means of the valve unit.
  • engagement is to be understood in a broader sense and also covers those types in which the electrical interface means are connected to each other purely touching each other without mutual intermeshing.
  • the various terminal units provided in the valve assembly differ in the design and / or position and / or orientation of their connector interface, for example, connector interfaces having a circular or rectangular cross-section can act, or to connector interfaces of differing diameter or plug interfaces, which are arranged either on the opposite side of the valve unit or on a sideways-oriented outer surface of the terminal unit, or to male interfaces, for example, either side or forward aligned.
  • connector interfaces having a circular or rectangular cross-section can act, or to connector interfaces of differing diameter or plug interfaces, which are arranged either on the opposite side of the valve unit or on a sideways-oriented outer surface of the terminal unit, or to male interfaces, for example, either side or forward aligned.
  • the variety of variants here are virtually no limits, with the advantage that only changed the terminal units for a change of the terminal configuration while the valve unit can be maintained.
  • the easy removability of the terminal units also makes it possible to adapt the floor plan of the terminal units to the cross-sectional contour of the valve unit, even if in this case the fastening elements necessary for fastening the valve unit are covered inaccessible. In order to make the fasteners accessible, only remove the currently mounted connector unit. Particularly advantageous is an embodiment in which the attachment and removal of the terminal units is tool-free purely by manual intervention feasible. For this purpose, in particular offers a self-locking during attachment of the terminal unit and by pressing a release element again easily releasable locking connection.
  • the first mechanical interfaces and / or the first electrical interface means of all connection units are preferably identical to each other. In principle, only a pertinent design must be given, that the desired mechanical coupling and electrical contact is guaranteed, which can be realized with mutually differently designed first mechanical interfaces or first electrical interface means. For cost reasons alone, however, it is advantageous to resort to mutually uniform designs.
  • the valve unit may include the single valve of the valve assembly. In this case, it is in the valve assembly a directly operated, non-pilot operated variant.
  • a valve arrangement which comprises a fluidically activatable main valve, with which at least one valve unit functioning as a pilot stage is combined to form a block-shaped module in particular, is particularly advantageous.
  • valve drive in particular, an electromagnet in question, wherein the valve unit then comprises at least one so-called solenoid valve.
  • valve drive in the form of a piezoelectric actuator.
  • the valve drive is expediently combined with a base body to form a module forming the valve unit.

  • the usable for attaching the terminal units second mechanical interface extends to the valve unit expediently uninterrupted both on the valve drive and on the base body away. Thus, a very large footprint is available for attachment of a relatively large outline terminal unit.
  • the first and second mechanical interfaces advantageously have mutually cooperating holding means. It is preferred a design in which the terminal unit hooked to attach to the valve unit and then pivoted to the valve unit is, wherein when pivoting a locking engagement is brought about.
  • the terminal units are expediently equipped in each case with a hood-shaped housing part, on which the plug interface is arranged.
  • the electronic components to be accommodated can comprise at least one printed circuit board, which can have a relatively large extent, since it is unproblematic when covering elements arranged on the valve unit in the region of the second mechanical interface are covered.

  • first mechanical interfaces 35 are each designed in a manner that ensures compatibility with the second mechanical interface 36.
  • access is made to mutually identical first mechanical interfaces 35, since this allows a particularly cost-effective production to be ensured.
