Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hydraulic machine comprising several pistons sliding in cylinders, a method of calculating the manifold openings of this machine, and a hybrid vehicle equipped with such a hydraulic machine.
- a type of hydraulic barrel machine known, presented in particular by the document US-A-5358388, comprises a motorized input shaft which drives in rotation a barrel having a succession of several parallel cylinders regularly distributed around the axis of this tree.
- Each cylinder receives a piston bearing axially on a side conventionally called front side, on a tilting plate which is fixed in rotation, by means of a bearing forming an axial stop.
- a turn of rotation of the barrel gives each piston a movement in a complete cycle comprising a stroke depending on the angle of inclination of the plate, which is adjustable by a tilt control. It can thus go of zero displacement with the tilting plate perpendicular to the shaft, at a maximum displacement with the highest inclination of this plate.
- the rear face of the barrel, opposite the tilting plate, is supported on a fixed circular plate which closes the ends of the cylinders, to ensure a seal.
- the plate comprises a low pressure collector and a high pressure collector each forming an arc of a circle facing a series of cylinders, these collectors being separated by a sufficient space so that each cylinder closes on one of the collectors before s open on the other.
- each opening of a cylinder on one of the collectors generates a pressure shock in the cylinder which is reflected by the piston on the tilting plate, producing vibrations of the machine causing noise emissions.
- the present invention is intended to avoid these disadvantages of the prior art.
- a hydraulic machine comprising a barrel rotated by an input shaft, comprising cylinders distributed around the axis, each receiving a sliding piston according to the rotation of the shaft, each cylinder opening through an opening on a transverse face of the cylinder bearing on a circular plate having inlet and outlet manifolds, the openings having with respect to their cylinders, angular offsets included within a total offset range, characterized in that the offsets of the openings are arranged at either end of this offset range.
- An advantage of this hydraulic machine is that one obtains in a simple manner for a total range of angular offset chosen, when the offset changes side, a maximum shift from one opening to the other equivalent to the total range. Measurements and tests have shown that this type of the largest shift possible, arranged irregularly over a complete cycle of the hydraulic machine, gives the best results with regard to the reduction of the sound level as well as the signature of the noise which gets closer to that of a heat engine.
- the hydraulic machine according to the invention may further comprise one or more of the following features, which may be combined with one another.
- the total offset range of the openings is between 2 and 4 °.
- the offset range for each cylinder may be centered on the axis of the corresponding cylinder.
- the hydraulic machine comprises a plurality of pistons, for example 7 or 9, comprising opening offsets on one side or the other of the offset range, which follow the next sequence for offset "0" on one side and "1" on the other side: 1; 0; 0; 1; 0; 1; 1; 1; 0.
- the invention also relates to a method of calculating an aperture offset sequence for a hydraulic machine comprising any of the preceding features, which uses a scrambler type scrambling method.
- the calculation method applies an additive calculation method, transforming the original data sequence into a sequence that applies a pseudo-random binary order of the "PRBS" type, by adding modules two by two.
- the invention furthermore relates to a hybrid motor vehicle having at least one hydraulic machine used for traction, comprising any one of the preceding features.
- FIG. 1 is an axial sectional view of a hydraulic machine with axial pistons
- FIG. 2 is a view of the rear face of a barrel for this type of machine, comprising openings without angular displacement;
- FIG. 3 is a view of the rear face of a barrel for this type of machine, comprising openings with angular offsets according to the invention.
- FIGS. 4 to 6 show successively for a machine comprising openings without angular displacement, openings with an angular offset calculated according to a first method, and with an angular offset calculated according to a second method, at the top the level of excitation according to the time of the high and low pressure circuits, and in the middle and bottom depending on the frequency, respectively the excitation level for the high pressure circuit, and for the low pressure circuit.
- Figure 1 shows a hydraulic machine 1 rotatable in both directions of rotation, comprising a generally cylindrical body 2 closed on the rear side by a cover 4.
- the body 2 and the cover 4 each support a tapered roller bearing 8, which guides an input shaft 6 disposed along the axis of this body.
- a barrel 12 rotatably connected to the input shaft 6, comprises nine cylinders 14 arranged parallel to the axis, which are regularly distributed around this axis.
- Each cylinder 14 contains a piston 16 whose front end presented by the arrow "AV" is supported by an axial stop 18 on a tilting plate 20 which can pivot about an axis perpendicular to the input shaft 6, under the effect of a hydraulic control cylinder 22 and a return spring 26.
- the rear face of the barrel 12 is supported on a transverse circular plate 24 held by the cover 4, to close the rear opening of the cylinders 14.
- the plate 24 comprises a low pressure manifold and a high pressure manifold each forming a circular arc covering just under half of the positions of the cylinders 14.
- FIG. 2 shows the rear face of a barrel 12 comprising nine cylinders 14 each presented by a dashed circle, which are arranged with an angular spacing regularly distributed around the main axis of the machine.
- Each cylinder 14 has an opening 30 opening on the rear face of the barrel 12, which is perfectly aligned with its cylinder.
- FIG. 4 to 6 shows, on the first graph as a function of time, the pressure curves of the high-pressure 40 and low-pressure circuits 42, comprising a periodic curve comprising a main oscillation frequency corresponding to the first frequency of the machine, as well as harmonics that are superimposed on this main frequency.
- the second graph of these figures shows for the high pressure circuit and the third graph present for the low pressure circuit, the excitation level 44, 46 as a function of the frequency.
- excitation lines 44 and 46 are clearly distinguished, which are distributed over the entire width of the sound spectrum. This results in a pronounced siren sound, which is distinctly different from that emitted by a heat engine.
- FIG. 3 shows the rear face of a cylinder 12 comprising openings 30 which are all angularly offset with respect to their cylinders 14, with an arrangement which is each time at one end of a total angular range of offset. There are therefore two groups of openings 30 identical to each other, comprising an angular offset on one side or the other of their cylinders 14.
- each opening 30 is denoted by the number "1" when it is a negative offset in the direction of rotation of the cylinder 12 indicated by the arrow, and "0" when it is an offset positive.
- the maximum allowable offsets in each direction are taken for the pistons when approaching neutral or low, without the risk of cavitation problems caused by too strong depressions, to determine the total offset range.
- the total width of this range is then used to create the maximum angular offsets from one opening to the next. Note that a larger offset range gives better results for attenuation of siren sounds.
- the offset range advantageously between 2 and 4 °, can be centered or offset on the axis of the cylinder 14.
- the following offsets can be obtained: -1 ° / + 1 ° or - 0.5 ° / + 1 .5 °, and for a total range of 4 ° the following decetages: -1 ° / + 3 ° or - 2 ° / + 2 °.
- the scrambler method of scrambling has been identified as providing the best results for eliminating siren noise with its harmonics, and approaching the sound signature emitted by a heat engine.
- the Scrambler method is used to eliminate the dependence of the acoustic power spectrum on the actual starting signal, which emits the siren sound of the hydraulic machine, making it more dispersed to spread the acoustic energy of the frequency peaks to a maximum. wider frequency band. This process reduces the energy level of emerging frequencies giving the siren sound.
- a first method including an additive calculation method, transforms the original data sequence into a pseudo-random sequence, which applies a pseudo-random binary order called "PRBS" for "Pseudo Random Binary Sequence", by the addition of modules two by two.
- Another method of Scrambler comprising a multiplicative calculation method, executes a multiplication of the input signal by a Scrambler transfer function, to give discrete linear systems.
- Figure 5 shows the analysis results for a hydraulic machine using the Scrambler method without pseudo-random binary order "PRBS", including the multiplicative process
- Figure 6 show the same results for a hydraulic machine using the Scrambler method with the pseudo-random binary order "PRBS" comprising the additive method.
- the "PRBS" method gives a bit sequence comprising a sequence of bits 0 or 1 having a pseudo-random character, the value of each of the elements is independent of that of the others. However this sequence is renewed at each cycle of rotation of the machine, so it is a periodic sequence, which makes it deterministic.
