Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an actuator device.
  • Actuator devices are made, for example FR 997 620 A known. They usually have the task to realize a required deflection in a certain area. For this purpose, the actuator device must allow both a back and a back movement. To ensure movement in both directions, the hydraulic fluid contained in the actuator device must be biased. This bias varies in known actuator devices with the deflection. This leads to pressure differences that limit the maximum possible deflection and to an inconsistent power development.
  • the present invention has for its object to overcome these disadvantages and to provide an improved actuator device.
  • the actuator device has a drive unit and an output unit.
  • the output unit comprises a first translation unit with a first output and a second translation unit with a second output that is fluidically connected to the first translation unit via a line system.
  • the drive unit is fluidly connected to the line system.
  • a fluid can be exchanged between the first translating unit and the second translating unit by means of the drive unit.
  • the first translation unit and the second translation unit each have a biasing element. According to the invention, these biasing elements are in opposite directions Direction supported against a movably mounted common clamping. Due to the movable mounting of the clamping this component is moved with the two drives. This advantageously produces no differential force between the two biasing elements.
  • the pressures in the fluid chambers remain constant regardless of the stroke.
  • this allows the force of the actuator device to be kept constant independently of the deflection, since the pressure difference of the fluid is not changed.
  • the maximum stroke can be significantly increased.
  • the first translation element and the second translation element have an identically dimensioned hydraulic cross-section.
  • the deflections of the two drives on the same ways. The clamping thus moves evenly to the deflections of the two drives.
  • the first biasing member and the second biasing member to an identical biasing force.
  • the first biasing member and the second biasing member preferably have an identical spring rate.
  • the first translation element and / or the second translation element is a hydraulic cylinder.
  • Hydraulic cylinders advantageously have a very low longitudinal stiffness and thus do not affect the spring rates of the biasing elements.
  • hydraulic cylinders can be designed for long deflections.
  • the first translation element and / or the second translation element is a bellows.
  • the bellows is advantageously a metal bellows or a diaphragm bellows, the bellows having the same spring rate.
  • bellows in particular a metal bellows, a high system density can be achieved more easily.
  • bellows have a relatively small weight.
  • the fluid chambers and the fluid lines are completely filled with a hydraulic fluid.
  • the fluid is substantially incompressible and a uniform operation of the actuator device at different pressures in the system is ensured.
  • an actuator device 1 according to the invention is sketched in a coordinate system 13.
  • the illustrated actuator device 1 comprises a drive unit 3 and one with the drive unit 3 fluid-conducting means a drive unit 19 connected to a first fluid line 18.
  • the drive unit 3 comprises an actuator 2 and a drive element 20.
  • the drive element 20 has a drive fluid chamber 17.
  • the actuator 2 may be, for example, a piezoelectric actuator 2 or a magnetoresistive actuator 2.
  • the drive unit 3 is designed in such a way that the size of the volume of the drive fluid chamber 17 can be influenced by the deflection of the actuator 2.
  • the actuator 2 is for this purpose at least in the pressure direction positively connected to the drive element 20.
  • the actuator 2 may also be positively connected to the drive element 20.
  • the actuator can also be opposite to the printing direction, in the pulling direction positively connected to the drive member 20.
  • the pressure direction represents the direction of the deflection of the actuator 2.
  • the drive element 20 may be, for example, a hydraulic cylinder with a piston, a bellows, in particular a metal bellows or a diaphragm bellows.
  • a hydraulic cylinder 20 is shown as a drive element 20, with the piston of the actuator 2 is non-positively connected.
  • the first fluid line 18 connects. As the volume of the drive fluid chamber 17 decreases, fluid in the drive fluid chamber 17 flows through the first fluid conduit 18 to the output unit 19. As the volume of the drive fluid chamber 17 increases, the fluid may flow into the drive fluid chamber 17.
  • the output unit 19 has a first translation unit 15 and a second translation unit 16.
  • the first translation unit 15 is fluidically connected to the second translation unit 16.
  • the first translation unit 15 has an output fluid chamber 11, a first translation element 14, a first output 7 and a first biasing element 12.

  • the volume of the fluid chambers 11, 9 is determined in each case according to the position of the drives 7, 8, or the deflection of the drives 7, 8 depending on the volume of the fluid chambers 11, 9.
  • the biasing elements 12, 25 each exert a bias on the outputs 7, 8, here on the piston 7, 8, off.

  • the clamping 4 is in the direction of the deflections of the drives 7, 8 movable.
  • the clamping 4 moves with the drives 7, 8.
  • the output fluid chamber 11 of the first translating unit 15 is fluidically connected to the reserve fluid chamber 9 of the second translating unit 16 by means of a conduit system (27).
  • the conduit system is designed in such a way that a second fluid conduit 21 and a third fluid conduit 22 are arranged parallel to one another and a fourth fluid conduit 26 is arranged in series with the second and third fluid conduit 21, 22.
