Definitions
- the invention relates to motorized valves, and more particularly to motorized valves based on a reversible piezoelectric rotary motors.
- Valves with piezoelectric actuators have been proposed.
- some designs include an amplified piezoelectric actuator (APA).
- APA amplified piezoelectric actuator
- an elastic amplifier element is coupled to the piezoelectric element to mechanically amplify the motion of the piezoelement.
- a disadvantage of these types of valves is that they are generally limited to a motion range on the order of a few hundred microns, even with the amplifier. Accordingly, adjustment of the amount of flow is limited and therefore the valve is not truly adjustable.
- conventional APA valves typically provide only two positions, an open position and a closed position.
- Other conventional designs include a piezoelectric element for directing flow of a fluid.
- a piezoelectric element is used directly or indirectly to select between two orifices for directing flow of a liquid through a valve body.
- the motion provided by piezoelement blocks one port and unblocks another.
- the small range of movement available for piezoelectric elements cannot be used to directly control the amount of fluid flowing through a port. Rather, such a piezoelement controlled valve is generally used in conjunction with a pneumatic actuator to control the amount of fluid flowing through the selected port.
- valve stem controlled by a unidirectional piezoelectric motor Such valve designs can regulate directly the flow of various fluids or isolate an evacuated area. Additionally, such valve designs provide a wide range of flow control, high accuracy and resolution, and linear control characteristics. However, the unidirectional nature of the valve limits the functional control characteristics of the valve.

- the valve also includes a rotation drive kinematically connected to the turning plug through a shaft, where the rotation drive includes a reversible piezoelectric motor.

- the resonators 7 and 13 can be constructed from piezoceramics selected from the group of piezo lead-zirconate-titanate-strontium ceramics (PZT) materials.
- PZT piezo lead-zirconate-titanate-strontium ceramics
- the invention is not limited to the use of PZT materials. In other embodiments of the invention, other types of piezoelectric materials can be used.
- the complementary generators 8 and 14 are configured such that elastic pushers 9 and 15, respectively, are disposed along the circumference of resonators 7 and 13, respectively, at nominally equal angular distances from one another.
- the complementary generators 8 and 14 can be in the form of ring shells, which are tightly fitted over the piezoelectric resonators 7 and 13, respectively, around their circumferences.

- the elastic pushers 9, 15 can then be attached to the external cylindrical surface of the discs.
- the second piezoelectric resonator 13 or the shaft 5 can be equipped with at least one marker of angular position 16.
- the position of the valve can then be detected using at least one sensor 17 mounted on the body of the valve.
- Sensor 17 can also be coupled to controller 28 or another control element to control the position of shaft 5 or otherwise control valve 100.
- Each specified marker in the valve of FIG. 1 can be in the form of an optical grating made of optical disc raster and each specified sensor is fabricated as an opto-electrical pair.
- the various embodiments of the invention are not limited in this regard and other methods of marking and detecting position of the valve can be used.
- the turning plug 4 can be shaped as a sphere, as shown in FIG. 1.
- the various embodiments of the invention are not limited in this regard and a cone or cylinder-shaped plug, with a through-hole, can be configured for sitting in the corresponding saddle 18 in the valve body 1 between the inlet 2 and outlet 3.
- the piezoelectric actuators 25 and 26 work on the principal of excitation of ultrasonic radial standing waves within an annular or ring-type piezoelectric resonator.
- pushers 9 and 15 are attached to the piezoelectric resonators 7 and 13, respectively, through a vibrational shell or other complementary generator (8, 14).
- the pushers 9 and 15 are arranged to primarily extend in a generally radial direction from rotational axis 24 and physically contact a portion of rotor assembly 27. Further, pushers 9 and 15 are also arranged to extend at least partially in a direction of rotation about rotation axis 27.
- the pushers 9 comprise cantilever-type springs extending in a radial direction towards rotor 10 and in a direction of rotation about rotational axis 24.
- the pushers 15 comprise cantilever-type springs extending in a radial direction towards rotor 1 1 and in a direction of rotation about rotational axis 24.
- controller 28 is configured to excite the first piezoelectric resonator 7 singly.
- the pushers 15 will apply a constant frictional force against rotor assembly 27, holding second resonator 13 fixed with respect to rotor assembly 27.
- rotor assembly 27, second resonator 13, and shaft 5 will rotate as a single unit.
- the excitation of first resonator 7 will however result in pushers 9 moving radially toward rotor 10 of rotor assembly 27.
- pushers 9 deform and begin to apply a restorative force against rotor 10 via a friction contact.
- the restorative force of the pushers 9 is preferentially applied in a counterclockwise direction about axis 24. Once a sufficient deformation of pushers 9 has occurred, the aggregate restorative force of the deformed pushers 9 becomes sufficiently large to overcome any frictional forces holding rotor assembly 27, second resonator 13, and shaft 5 in place and rotor assembly 27, second resonator 13, and shaft 5 will begin to rotate counterclockwise about axis 27. When pushers 9 move radially away from rotor 10, the pushers 9 undeform and stop applying a force against rotor 10. This process can then be repeated to maintain counterclockwise rotation of rotor assembly 27, second resonator 13, and shaft 5.
- controller 28 is configured to singly excite the second piezoelectric resonator 13.
- the pushers 9 will apply a constant frictional force against rotor assembly 27, holding rotor assembly 27 in a fixed position. Accordingly, rotor assembly 27 will be prevented from rotating.
- the excitation of second resonator 13 will however result in pushers 15 moving radially toward rotor 11 of rotor assembly 27. As a result, pushers 15 deform and begin to apply a restorative force against rotor 11 via a friction contact.
- the restorative force of the pushers 15 is preferentially applied in a counterclockwise direction about axis 24. Once a sufficient deformation of pushers 15 has occurred, the aggregate restorative force of the deformed pushers 15 becomes sufficiently large to overcome any frictional forces holding second resonator 13, and shaft 5 in place and second resonator 13 and shaft 5 will begin to rotate clockwise about axis 27. When pushers 15 move radially away from rotor 11, the pushers 13 undeform and stop applying a force against rotor 11. This process can then be repeated to maintain a clockwise rotation of second resonator 13 and shaft 5.
- valves including solely ball-type plugs.
- the various embodiments of the invention can be used with any type of valve, including gate, globe, pinch, diaphragm, needle, plug, ball, and butterfly valves, to name a few.
- FIGs. 2 and 3 show how the piezoelectric motor of FIG. 1 could be used to operate pinch-type valves in accordance with embodiments of the invention.
- FIG. 2 shows a first exemplary pinch-type piezoelectric valve 200, including a reversible piezoelectric motor in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
- the reversible motor for shaft 5 in FIG. 2 is substantially similar to that described in FIG. 1. Accordingly, the description therein will be sufficient for describing the operation of FIG. 2.
- the turning plug can made in the form of an eccentrically rotatable cylinder 19 rigidly mounted to the end of shaft 5, while the curved surface of the cylinder 19 is in contact with a elastic tube 20.
- tube 20 can comprise a silicone or rubber tube.
- the various embodiments of the invention are not limited in this regard and other types of elastic materials can also be used. As shown in FIG.
- the ends of the elastic tube 20 are connected to the inlet 2 and outlet 3 of valve 200 and tube 20 sits in a saddle 18 in the valve body 1.
- the cylinder 19 presses on the elastic tube 20 and regulates the size of the internal opening of the elastic tube 20, thus regulating flow through the valve.
- FIG. 3 shows a second exemplary pinch-type piezoelectric valve 300, including a reversible piezoelectric motor for turning a valve plug in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
- the reversible motor for shaft 5 in FIG. 3 is substantially similar to that described in FIG. 1. Accordingly, the description therein will be sufficient for describing the operation of FIG. 3.
- the turning plug can be made in the form of a piston 21 with a linear guide 22, while the shaft 5 is linked to the piston 21 through a "bolt-threaded hole” pair 23.
- valve 300 the flat side of the piston 21 rests against an elastic tube 20, which sits in the saddle 18 of the valve body 1 and is attached to the inlet 2 and outlet 3.
- the piezoelectric valve 300 in FIG. 3 can include a screw-type drive.
- the end of shaft 5 in FIG. 3 has a threaded hole and which is coupled to the corresponding screw 23 at the end of a piston 21.
- Rotation of the piston 21 is prevented by a retaining device 22 mechanically coupled to piston 21 to prevent its rotation within body 1.
- shaft 5 is rotated using a rotation drive body 6, as previously described with respect to FIG. 1.
- Rotation of shaft 5 causes the linear position of screw 23 to move within shaft 5 and the resulting linear motion is translated to piston 21, causing piston 21 to move up or down, depending on the direction of rotation.
- the end of piston 21 can have the threaded hole.
- the reversible piezoelectric motor can require a high torque to provide high speed closing and opening of the valve.
- Piezoelectric motors with increased torque can be provided by improving the motor design parameters and at the same time eliminating the undesirable effects of any decrease in the Q factor. This is achieved by increasing the diameters of the rotor and the associated piezoelectric annular generator, while switching to a different excitation frequency, which excites the first order longitudinal vibrational mode across the annular width of the annular piezoelectric resonator. That is.
- the operating frequency of the applied voltage is selected to excite the first-order longitudinal mode of vibration radially across the annular width of the piezoelectric resonator.
- the operating frequency (F) for the excitation voltage can be described by the equation:
- excitation of the first order vibrational longitudinal mode can be achieved by configuring the piezoelectric resonators in the piezoelectric valve to have an outer radius (Rp) that is at least twice the inner radius (rp) (i.e., Rp > 2rp) and an annular width (h) that is at least twice a thickness (H) of said piezoelectric resonator (i.e. h > 2H).
- Rp outer radius
- h annular width
- a wave shell is operable to efficiently transfer oscillations of the piezoelectric resonators in the radial direction to the pushers to effect rotary movement of an associated rotor about a rotational axis with a significantly higher amount of torque than observed in conventional piezoelectric motors including annular piezoelements.
- the piezoelectric resonators can be polarized normal to its flat end surfaces and the electrodes can be affixed to these flat end surfaces.
