Description
- The present invention relates to a new Selective Catalytic Reduction dosing pump.
- Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system is standard equipment in most recent cars. A dosing pump delivers a reagent in the exhaust pipe to chemically react with the gases within an SCR catalyst and eliminate NOx by up to 95%. From
EP1878920 is known an in-line dosing pump comprising an electromagnetic actuator that actuates a pumping element. Different model of vehicles demand different volume of reagent so, several pumps have to be designed and manufactured. Considering this variety along with the lack of space available in a vehicle for such equipment it becomes important to have a compact pump that can be adapted to a plurality of needs. - Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a dosing pump of a Selective Catalytic Reduction system. The dosing pump delivers a reagent comprises a pumping part having a body, provided with a pumping element having a bore extending along a pumping axis within which is arranged a piston member. The volume of the bore beyond the piston defines a dosing chamber where open an inlet and an outlet controlled by a valve, the piston reciprocally moves along said pumping axis between a downward position wherein the inlet is open letting the reagent fill the chamber and, a upward position wherein the inlet is closed and the valve open to let the reagent flow off the chamber. The pump further comprises a piloted actuator having a plunger arranged to cooperate with the piston.
- Advantageously, the plunger reciprocally moves along a plunger axis angled relative to the piston axis. More precisely, the plunger reciprocally moves along the plunger axis between a backward position wherein the piston is in the downward position, and an frontward position wherein the piston is at the upward position.
- The pump further comprises a first elastic member permanently soliciting the plunger toward the backward position and, a second elastic member permanently soliciting the piston toward the downward position.
- More precisely, the plunger axis and the pumping axis intersect at a right angle.
- Furthermore, the plunger and the piston have complementary shaped cooperating extremities, arranged so a displacement of the plunger along the plunger axis generates a displacement of the piston along the piston axis.
- The complementary shaped cooperating extremities, of the plunger and the piston are inclined surfaces that can be conical surfaces.
- Furthermore, the pump may comprise a plurality of pumping element radially arranged relative to the plunger axis, the plunger cooperating with all the pistons.
- The present invention is now described by way of example with reference to the accompanying figures.
-
Figure 1 is an axial section of a dosing pump as per the invention set in a first position. -
Figure 2 is similar tofigure 1 but set in a second position. -
Figure 3 is a detail offigure 1 . -
Figure 4 is a transversal section of the pump offigure 1 . - In the following description, similar elements will be designated with the same reference numbers.
- The following description will use a tri-orthogonal direct coordinate system (X, Y, Z) as shown on
figure 1 , where X is the longitudinal or plunger axis, Y the transversal axis and Z the vertical or pumping axis. For clarity and concision purposes and to ease the description and the understanding and, without any intention to limit the scope of the invention, especially in regards of the numerous possibilities of installation of the system in a vehicle, words such as "right, left, top, bottom, upward, downward" will be utilized and an orientation "backward - frontward" will also serve the description in naming backward the left offigure 1 and frontward the right of the figure. - Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
system 10 delivers reagent R in the exhaust pipe to chemically react with the exhaust gases within a SCR catalyst and eliminate NOx by up to 95% from pipe emissions. TheSCR system 10 comprises a piloteddosing pump 12 which embodiment is now described in reference to the figures. - From left to right of
figure 1 thedosing pump 12 comprises arranged in a backward body 14 apiloted actuator 16 extending along the longitudinal axis X and a pumpingpart 18 centrally arranged and extending along the vertical axis Z and, in a frontward body 20 a deliveringpart 22 represented on the right. - The
backward body 14 comprises, described from the right to the left offigure 1 , a large radial disc-flange 24 from which backwardly (toward the left of the figure) extends acylindrical portion 26 receiving thepumping part 18 that will be described afterward. From saidcylindrical portion 26 extend an outer tubularcylindrical wall 28 and an inner tubularcylindrical wall 30. Both cylindrical walls are longitudinally coaxial X and define in between them alarge recess 32 in which is arranged thecoil 34 of theactuator 16. Theinner cylinder 30 is provided with anaxial bore 36 which backwardextremity 38 opens in abackward recess 40 and whichfrontward extremity 42 opens in afrontward recess 44. In thebore 36 is slidably arranged aplunger 46 shaft axially extending throughout thebore 36. On the back end 48 (left end) of theplunger 46 is fixed amagnetic armature 50 that has a disc-shape radially extending from theplunger 46. The outer diameter of themagnetic armature 50 is the same as the outer diameter or the innercylindrical wall 30. The front end 52 (right end) of theplunger 46 is fixed anendpiece 54 having a conical shape. Theendpiece 54 may integrally be formed with the plunger as well as it may be made separate and assembled afterward. On the figures the endpiece is shown with two symmetric conical faces, abackward face 56 which radius radially expends and afrontward face 58 which radius diminishes in a pointy tip. In a first embodiment the frontward conical face is the only functional face of theendpiece 54. - In an alternative embodiment both conical faces, 56, 58, are made functional by increasing the longitudinal travel of the
plunger 46. This permits a first pump event during the forward stroke of theplunger 46 and a second pump event during the return stroke, so two pump events while a single actuation event. - A
longitudinal coil spring 59 arranged surrounding theplunger 46 is compressed between the bottom of thebackward recess 40 and themagnetic armature 50 in which is arranged a spring seat. Thespring 59 permanently solicits theplunger 46 toward the back, the left offigure 1 . A disc-shape back plug 60, also calledouter pole piece 60, is centrally holed 62 and is arranged and fixed in abutment against the outercylindrical wall 28. Thecentral hole 62 is just a little larger than the disc-shapemagnetic armature 50 so theplunger 46 may reciprocally slide in thebore 36 without contacting theback plug 60. - The flow path of the reagent R will be described afterward but, as the reagent R goes near the
coil 34, two O-ring seals 64, visualized onfigure 1 , prevent any liquid intrusion into thecoil 34 and prevent mixing of reagent R and coolant pumped within outer housing, not shown. - The pumping
part 18 is now described and best detailed on the magnified view offigure 3 . It is arranged in thecylindrical portion 26 of thebackward body 14 and it comprisesseveral pumping elements 66, the embodiment offigure 4 showing fouridentical pumping elements 66 but, as being identical just one will be described here after, theelement 66 above infigure 1 . - The
pumping element 66 comprises acylindrical hole 68 radially extending along the vertical axis Z and, in thehole 68 is arranged afixed sleeve 70. Thesleeve 70 is provided with an axial Z bore 72 that upwardly opens in a cylindricalupper chamber 74 of larger diameter than thebore 72, the intersection area forming avalve seat 76. Theupper chamber 74 is itself closed by aplug 78 and, in theupper chamber 74 is arranged acheck valve 80 normally closed comprising aspring 82 soliciting aball 84 against thevalve seat 76. Thebore 72 downwardly opens in acylindrical recess 86 and, in thebore 72 is slidably adjusted acylindrical piston 88 that upwardhead 90 is flat and downwardfoot 92 radially extends in ashoulder 94 followed by a pointyconical end 96. Anothercoil spring 98 arranged around thepiston 88 is compressed in therecess 86 between thesleeve 70 and theshoulder 94 so permanently soliciting downwardly thepiston 88. The free volume of thebore 72 that is between the piston'shead 90 and theball 84 forms adosing chamber 100. - In a preferred embodiment, the piston axis (Z) and the plunger axis (X) intersect at right angle. In alternative embodiments, the axis may not intersect and then may be angled at another angle than 90°.
- The delivering
part 22 is now described in reference tofigure 1 taken from left to right. Thefrontward body 20 comprises adisc flange wall 102 radially extending from the longitudinal axis X. Saidflange 102 is bolted in surface contact against the large disc-flange 24 of thebackward body 14. Another O-ring seal 104 is arranged between theflanges flange 102 frontwardly extends aconical portion 106 ending into acylindrical portion 108. - The flow path of the reagent R is now described in reference to
figure 1 , from left to right of the figure. - The reagent R enters the
dosing pump 12 via thecentral hole 62 provided in theouter pole piece 60. The regent R then flows around themagnetic armature 50, on which thespring 59 seats, and via through holes operated in themagnetic armature 50 to get between the innercylindrical wall 30 and thecoil 34. As said before, thanks to theseals 64, the reagent R does not wet thecoil 34 or mix with surrounding coolant in contact withouter walls 28. At the bottom of thelarge recess 32 the reagent flows through ahole 110 longitudinally X extending through the wall and opening in the cylindricalradial hole 68 of the pumpingpart 18. In this area thesleeve 70 is provided on its external surface with a first undercut creating a firstannular space 112 that is in fluid communication with thedosing chamber 100 viainlet channels 114. Saidinlet channels 114 extend through thesleeve 70. As can be observed in the figures, theinlet channel 114 opens in thedosing chamber 100 just above the piston'shead 90. From thedosing chamber 100, the reagent R can flow in theupper chamber 74 only when thecheck valve 80 opens. From theupper chamber 74, the reagent R can exit throughoutlet channels 116 that radially extend through thesleeve 70 and open in a second undercut provided in the external surface of thesleeve 70 and forming a secondannular space 118 surrounding thesleeve 70. As visible onfigure 1 , the first undercut 112 and the second undercut 118 are separated and delimited by three outer surface section that are in circumferential contact with thecylindrical hole 68 so, the reagent R flowing in the firstannular space 112 has no other choice than going into theinlet channel 114. From the secondannular space 118, the reagent R flows out via throughholes 120 longitudinally X extending through thelarge disc flange 24. In the disc-flange wall 102 of thefrontward body 20, the reagent R gets into agallery 122 from which departs a connectingchannel 124 centrally extending and focusing toward the longitudinal axis X. As visible on thefigure 1 and 2 , said connectingchannel 124 is formed in theconical portion 106 of thefrontward body 20 and it merges into amain delivery channel 126 that longitudinally X extends in the middle of thecylindrical portion 108 of thefrontward body 20 from which the reagent R exits thedosing pump 12. - As said above the description is limited to one
pumping element 66, which infigure 1 , is set on the top. The description of theother elements 66 would just vary in the axis orientation of each one, the transposition being immediate, the description was not repeated. - The function of the
dosing pump 12 is now described in reference tofigures 1, 2 and3 . - In
figure 1 thecoil 34 is not energized and theplunger 46, pushed by thespring 59, is in a backward position PB. Thepiston 88, pushed by thevertical spring 98, is in a downward position PD. The frontwardconical face 58 of theplunger 46 is in contact against theconical end 96 of thepiston 88. As mentioned above, thepiston 88 being in the downward position PD, theinlet channel 114 is open and the reagent R fills thedosing chamber 100. - In
figure 2 thecoil 34 is energized, themagnetic armature 50 is axially X attracted with a force superior to the force of thelongitudinal spring 59 and theplunger 46 is longitudinally moved in a forward position PF. In doing so the frontwardconical face 58 of theplunger 46 upwardly pushes theconical end 96 of thepiston 88 that moves into an upward position PU. Similarly, thevertical spring 98 is further compressed. In moving up the piston'shead 90 closes theinlet channel 114 and the reagent R trapped in thedosing chamber 100 is pressurized and it pushes up theball 84 obliging thecheck valve 80 to open. The pressurized reagent R can flow around theball 84 and find its way through theoutlet channel 116 through to thedelivery channel 126. - As can be observed and understood, the volume of the
dosing chamber 100 is fixed. As soon as thepiston 88 moves up, the inlet channel closes. Therefore the volume of reagent R delivered is exactly the volume contained in thedosing chamber 100. - Also, the upward movement of the piston is linked to the cone-cone contact. Other slopped or spherical shape may provide a similar transmission of force between the plunger and the piston.
- The conical profile at plunger tip can be adapted to allow two pump events per
axial plunger stroke 46, as described earlier in the alternative embodiment, offering a further variation to achieve higher dosed output for given electrical frequency input. - The preceding description focused on one
pumping element 66. As visible onfigure 4 the embodiment comprises four pumpingelement 66 arranged every 90°. A major advantage of thisdosing pump 12 is that within the same fixed volume delimited by the backward andfrontward bodies elements 66 can be arranged. Forinstance dosing pump 12 may have asingle pumping element 66. Another embodiment may have twoelements 66, or three, or four as presented onfigure 4 . More than four is also possible depending on the quantity of reagent R needed.
