Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine elektromagnetische Stellvorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruchs. Derartige Vorrichtungen sind beispielsweise aus dem Deutschen Gebrauchsmuster
Gerade im Kontext eines Verbrennungsmotors oder dergleichen Anwendungsgebiet kommt es dabei besonders auf einen zuverlässigen Betrieb an, wobei etwa die besonderen Umgebungsbedingungen (hohe Temperatur, Vibration, ggf. ein frostkalter Motor) zu gelegentlichen Fehlfunktionen führen, welche zuverlässig detektiert werden müssen. Entsprechend sind für elektromagnetische Stellvorrichtungen aus dem Stand der Technik sogenannte Rückstell-Erfassungstechnologien bekannt, wobei beispielsweise ein in einem unbestromten Zustand der Spuleneinheit erfasstes und ausgewertetes Induktionssignal der sich entsprechend der Nockenwellenstellung bewegenden Ankereinheit an den Anschlussklemmen der Spuleneinheit ausgewertet wird. Eine derartige Vorrichtung zeigt beispielsweise die
Diese Technologie, mit weiteren ähnlichen, an dieser Stelle nicht vertieften Ansätzen aus dem Stand der Technik, weist jedoch den Nachteil auf, dass eine Fehlfunktion aus einem jeweiligen Anschlussklemmensignal nur schwer zu ermitteln ist und entsprechend eine nachgeschaltete Auswerteelektronik aufwändig und selbst wiederum fehleranfällig ist. Hinzu kommt der Nachteil, dass diese bekannte Induktionstechnologie prinzipbedingt nur eine Bewegung des Stößels bzw. der Ankereinheit ermitteln kann, nicht jedoch eine jeweilige Stößelposition; insbesondere ist es mit Mitteln zur Auswertung einer Induktions-Spulenspannung nicht möglich, eine (stehende) Endposition des etwa in die Nockenwelle eingreifenden Stößels zuverlässig zu erfassen.However, this technology, with other similar, at this point not deepened approaches from the prior art, however, has the disadvantage that a malfunction from a respective terminal signal is difficult to determine and, accordingly, a downstream evaluation electronics consuming and error prone itself. In addition, there is the disadvantage that this known induction technology can detect only a movement of the plunger or the anchor unit in principle, but not a respective plunger position; In particular, it is not possible with means for evaluating an induction coil voltage to reliably detect a (stationary) end position of the ram engaging approximately in the camshaft.
Entsprechend schlägt die zum Zeitpunkt der vorliegenden Anmeldung noch nicht öffentliche Gebrauchsmusteranmeldung
Die Ankereinheit 14 weist eine (scheibenförmige) Permanentmagneteinheit 20 auf, welche in der gezeigten Weise axial magnetisiert ist und so der Kerneinheit 12 gegenübersteht, dass als Reaktion auf ein Bestromen der Spuleneinheit 10 die Ankereinheit 14 samt ansitzender Stößeleinheit 16 (diese ist entweder fest oder durch Haltekraft der Permanentmagneteinheit 20 lösbar auf dieser gehalten) in axialer Richtung (d.h. in der
Zur Realisierung der Positionsdetektion ist bei diesem internen Stand der Technik der Permanentmagneteinheit 20 eine stationäre Sensoreinheit 22 (geeignet im in den Figuren nicht gezeigten Gehäuse vorgesehen) zugeordnet, welche das Permanentmagnetfeld detektiert und, etwa realisiert als Hall-Sensor, dieses Magnetfeld sowie dessen Änderung durch Bewegung der Ankereinheit 14 erfassen und einer nachfolgenden elektronischen Auswertung zuführen kann.To realize the position detection is associated with this internal state of the art, the
Damit ist diese Lösung in der Lage, die prinzipbedingten Nachteile des vorstehend diskutierten, veröffentlichten Standes der Technik zu überwinden.Thus, this solution is able to overcome the inherent disadvantages of the prior art discussed above.
Allerdings ist auch eine solche Lösung, welche anhand der
Unter Berücksichtigung eines stets im Bestromungsfall der Spuleneinheit 10 vorhandenen Spulenfeldes (siehe hierzu die Feldlinien 11) zeigt sich jedoch, dass diese in der Überlagerung eine mögliche Fehlfunktion der Sensoreinheit 22 bewirken können. So überlagern nämlich insbesondere die magnetischen Feldlinien des Spulenfeldes 11 einen etwaigen Detektionszustand im abgefallen Zustand (

Zum weiteren Stand der Technik wird verwiesen auf die
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung, welche zusätzlich stationäre Magnetfeld-Detektionsmittel zum Zusammenwirken mit durch Ankerbewegung bewegten Permanentmagnetmitteln zur Positions- und Bewegungsdetektion aufweist, in ihren Detektionseigenschaften zu verbessern, insbesondere einen etwaigen schädlichen Einfluss eines magnetischen Spulenfeldes zu überwinden.It is therefore an object of the present invention to improve a generic device, which additionally has stationary magnetic field detection means for interacting with permanent magnet means moved by armature movement for position and movement detection, in its detection properties, in particular to overcome any damaging influence of a magnetic coil field.
Die Aufgabe wird durch die elektromagnetische Stellvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs gelöst; vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.The object is achieved by the electromagnetic actuator with the features of the main claim; advantageous developments of the invention are described in the subclaims.
In erfindungsgemäß vorteilhafter Weise sind der beschriebenen Vorrichtung, genauer der Spuleneinheit, zusätzlich magnetische Flussleitmittel zugeordnet, die so ausgebildet sind, dass sie ein von der Spuleneinheit im bestromten Zustand erzeugtes magnetisches Spulenfeld von den Magnetfeld-Detektionsmitteln geeignet ableiten, abschirmen und/oder gegenüber den Magnetfeld-Deteketionsmitteln abschwächen ohne gleichzeitig eine Detektion des Permanentmagnetfeldes der Permanentmagnetmittel durch die Magnetfeld-Detektionsmittel in erheblicher Weise zu beeinträchtigen oder nachteilig zu beeinflussen.In an advantageous manner according to the invention, the device described, or more precisely the coil unit, is additionally associated with magnetic flux guides which are designed such that they adequately derive, shield and / or shield the magnetic coil field generated by the coil unit in the energized state from the magnetic field detection means Mitigate the decryption without at the same time significantly impairing or adversely affecting a detection of the permanent magnetic field of the permanent magnet means by the magnetic field detection means.
Besonders vorteilhaft wird dies dadurch realisiert, dass die Flussleitmittel in Form von aus einem magnetisch leitenden Material, z.B. Weicheisen, realisierten Flussleitelementen gebildet sind und so benachbart der Spuleneinheit und/oder achsparallel zu dieser verlaufend vorgesehen sind, dass in diesen Flussleitelementen das Spulenmagnetfeld gebündelt wird, mithin eine Abschirmung oder Schwächung des (Spulen-) Magnetfeldes auf die Sensoreinheit erfolgt. Dies führt dann erfindungsgemäß zu der beabsichtigten Verbesserung des Bewegungs- bzw. Positionsmessverhaltens durch diese Sensormittel (Magnetfeld-Detektionsmittel).This is realized in a particularly advantageous manner in that the flux-conducting means in the form of a magnetically conductive material, e.g. Soft iron, realized flux guide elements are formed and are provided adjacent to the coil unit and / or axially parallel to this running, that in these flux-conducting elements, the coil magnetic field is bundled, thus shielding or weakening the (coil) magnetic field takes place on the sensor unit. This then leads according to the invention to the intended improvement of the movement or position measurement behavior by these sensor means (magnetic field detection means).
Dabei ist es im Rahmen bevorzugter Ausführungsbeispiele besonders bevorzugt, ein solches Flussleitelement (entweder allein, oder als Gruppe vorgesehen und weiter bevorzugt etwa mit einer gemeinsamen, z.B. bezogen auf die Spuleneinheit stirnseitigen, Platte verbunden) langgestreckt auszubilden, weiter bevorzugt platten- oder profilartig auszuformen und diesem/n gegenüber den Magnetfeldsensor so anzuordnen, dass der Sensor geeignet außerhalb, etwa stirnseitig, von einem durch die Flussleitmittel erzeugten Flussleit-, Bündel- bzw. Abschirmraum liegt, damit selbst unbeeinträchtig mit den ankerseitigen Permanentmagnetmitteln zusammenwirken kann.It is particularly preferred in the context of preferred embodiments, such a flux guide (either alone, or provided as a group and more preferably approximately with a common, for example, based on the coil unit front side, plate connected) elongate form, more preferably plate or profile-like shape and to arrange this / s with respect to the magnetic field sensor so that the sensor is suitably outside, approximately at the front, by a Flußleit-, bundle or shielding generated by the Flußleitmittel, so that even interact with the anchor-side permanent magnet means can not interfere.
So ist es beispielsweise im Rahmen bevorzugter Realisierungsformen vorgesehen, in der Art einer eine Spulenvorrichtung oder mehrere benachbarte Spulenvorrichtungen käfigartig rand- bzw. eckseitig umschließend mehrere langgestreckte Flussleitelemente achsparallel zu den bzw. der Spulenvorrichtung(en) anzuordnen, wobei sich weiter bevorzugt diese Flussleitelemente entlang der axialen Spulenlänge erstrecken und dann die Sensoreinheit stirnseitig dieser Anordnung (bzw. einem einzigen Flussleitelement in der axialen Verlängerung) gegenübersteht. Am der Sensoreinheit gegenüberliegenden stirnseitigen Ende der Flussleitelemente kann dann in geeigneter Weise ein (wiederum flussleitend verbundenes) flaches Leitelement für alle Flussleitelemente vorgesehen sein.Thus, it is provided, for example in the context of preferred embodiments, in the manner of a coil device or a plurality of adjacent coil devices edge-side or corner-enclosing a plurality of elongated flux guide elements axially parallel to the or the coil device (s) to be arranged, more preferably these flux-conducting along the axial coil length and then the sensor unit frontally facing this arrangement (or a single flux guide in the axial extension). At the sensor unit opposite the front end of the flux-guiding elements can then be provided in a suitable manner (again flux-conductively connected) flat guide element for all flux-guiding elements.
Alternativ und im Rahmen weiterer bevorzugter Ausführungsformen der Erfindung ist es günstig, eine einzelne Spuleneinheit oder mehrere Spuleneinheiten jeweils einzeln oder gemeinsam mantelseitig eine die magnetischen Flussleitmittel realisierende Schale aus einem magnetisch leitenden Material, etwa Weicheisen, zuzuordnen; diese Schale kann dann etwa zylindrisch bzw. zylinderabschnittsförmig gebogen sein, weiterbildungsgemäß zusätzlich, etwa im Fall eines Spulenpaares, ein sich axial erstreckendes, längliches Abschirmblech als Flussleitelement aufweisen.Alternatively, and within the scope of further preferred embodiments of the invention, it is advantageous to each a single coil unit or a plurality of coil units individually or together on the shell side to assign a shell of a magnetically conductive material, such as soft iron, which realizes the magnetic flux-conducting means; This shell can then be bent approximately cylindrically or cylinder-section-shaped, in accordance with further development, for example in the case of a coil pair, an axially extending, elongated shielding plate as flux guide element.
Im Rahmen bevorzugter Realisierungsformen der Erfindung ist dabei die Schieber- bzw. Stößeleinheit lösbar mit der Ankereinheit verbunden, und zwar dergestalt, dass Permanentmagnetkraft der Permanentmagnetmittel die Stößeleinheit (lösbar) an der Ankereinheit festhält. Dadurch erhält die erfindungsgemäße Permanentmagneteinheit eine mehrfach synergistische Wirkung: zum einen sorgt sie durch ihre Abstoßungskraft bei Bestromung der Spule für die Ankerbewegung im Rahmen der elektromagnetischen Stellfunktion der Stellvorrichtung. Darüber hinaus bietet sie, wie diskutiert, die Möglichkeit, mittels der stationären Magnetfeld-Detektionsmittel (realisiert etwa als stationäre Sensoreinheit), eine Ankerbewegung und -position zu jedem Zeitpunkt zuverlässig zu detektieren, und weiter zusätzlich und vorteilhaft stellt die Permanentmagneteinheit die zuverlässige, gleichwohl lösbare Verbindung zwischen Schieber- bzw. Stößeleinheit und Ankereinheit her (dadurch, dass die Ankereinheit selbst geeignete Permanentmagnetmittel, z.B. eine entsprechend magnetisierte Scheibe, aufweist und dann die Stößeleinheit aus magnetisch leitendem Material, z.B. Weicheisen, besteht).In the context of preferred embodiments of the invention, the slide or ram unit is releasably connected to the armature unit, in such a way that permanent magnet force of the permanent magnet means (releasably) holds the plunger unit to the armature unit. This gives the permanent magnet unit according to the invention a multiple synergistic effect: on the one hand, it provides by its repulsive force when energizing the coil for the armature movement in the context of the electromagnetic control function of the adjusting device. Moreover, as discussed, it offers the possibility of reliably detecting an armature movement and position at any time by means of the stationary magnetic field detection means (realized, for example, as a stationary sensor unit), and further additionally and advantageously, the permanent magnet unit provides the reliable, yet detachable one Connection between slide or ram unit and anchor unit forth (in that the anchor unit itself suitable permanent magnet means, such as a correspondingly magnetized disc has, and then the ram unit of magnetically conductive material, eg soft iron exists).
Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung wird diese Anordnung magnetisch gegenüber potentiell die Sensorerfassung störenden Einflüssen des Spulenmagnetfeldes abgeschirmt.In the context of the present invention, this arrangement is magnetically shielded from potentially interfering with the sensor detection influences the coil magnetic field.
Während es im Rahmen bevorzugter Realisierungsformen der Erfindung liegt, einen Hall-Sensor oder dergleichen Magnetfelddetektor für die Magnetfeld-Detektionsmittel einzusetzen, ist die vorliegende Erfindung hierauf nicht beschränkt; vielmehr bieten sich zahlreiche Wege und Möglichkeiten an, einen Magnetfeldsensor für die Magnetfeld-Detektionsmittel zu realisieren und geeignet der Ankereinheit benachbart im Gehäuse vorzusehen.While it is within the scope of preferred embodiments of the invention to use a Hall sensor or the like magnetic field detector for the magnetic field detection means, the present invention is not limited thereto; rather, there are numerous ways and possibilities to realize a magnetic field sensor for the magnetic field detection means and suitably provide the armature unit adjacent to the housing.
Während zudem die vorliegende Erfindung prinzipiell bereits für eine einfache Konfiguration aus einer einzelnen Spule mit dieser zugeordneten Ankereinheit und entsprechend einem Sensor günstig realisiert werden kann, ist die vorliegende Erfindung nicht auf eine derartige Konfiguration beschränkt, vielmehr liegt es im Rahmen bevorzugter Realisierungsformen der Erfindung, eine Mehrzahl von Spuleneinheiten vorzusehen, ebenso wie eine Mehrzahl axial parallel oder windschief zueinander verlaufender Ankereinheiten vorzusehen, denen wiederum in geeigneter Weise Spuleneinheiten zugeordnet sind, wobei dann hier entweder einzelne Flussleitelemente für einen gemeinsamen Sensor vorgesehen sein können, oder mehrfache Flussleitelemente für einen gemeinsamen Sensor, oder mehrfache Flussleitelemente mehrere Sensoren abschirmen bzw. ein Spulenfeld für diese geeignet beeinflussen.Moreover, while the present invention can in principle already be realized favorably for a simple configuration from a single coil with this associated armature unit and corresponding to a sensor, the present invention Invention is not limited to such a configuration, but it is within the scope of preferred embodiments of the invention to provide a plurality of coil units, as well as a plurality of axially parallel or skew each other extending anchor units provide, which in turn are assigned to coil units, in which case either here individual flux guide elements can be provided for a common sensor, or multiple flux guide elements for a common sensor, or multiple flux guide elements can screen a plurality of sensors or suitably influence a coil field for them.
Im Ergebnis ermöglicht es die vorliegende Erfindung in überraschend einfacher und wirksamer Weise, die bereits aus dem internen Stand der Technik bekannte Technologie im Hinblick auf ihr Detektionsverhalten, insbesondere ihre Unempfindlichkeit gegenüber etwaigen magnetischen Feldeinflüssen der bestromten Spule, zu verbessern und so die vorliegende Erfindung auch im Hinblick auf einen Magnetfluss anspruchsvollen bzw. problematischen Einsatzbedingungen zugängig zu machen.As a result, the present invention makes it possible in a surprisingly simple and effective manner to improve the technology already known from the internal state of the art with regard to its detection behavior, in particular its insensitivity to possible magnetic field influences of the energized coil, and thus also the present invention In view of a magnetic flux to make demanding or problematic operating conditions accessible.
