Description
Die Erfindung geht aus von einer hydraulischen Achse.The invention is based on a hydraulic axis.
Derartige hydraulische Achsen, wie z.B. in dem Dokument
Demgegenüber liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine hydraulische Achse zu schaffen, die zu einem kompakten und geringen Bauraumbedarf aufweisenden Armaturenantrieb führt.In contrast, the invention has for its object to provide a hydraulic axis that leads to a compact and small space requirement valve actuator.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst mit einer hydraulischen Achse gemäß den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.The object is achieved with a hydraulic axis according to the features of
Sonstige vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand weiterer Unteransprüche.Other advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of further dependent claims.
Erfindungsgemäß hat eine kompakte hydraulische Achse einen Zylinder. Dieser ist über eine Pumpe (Hydropumpe) betätigbar. Vorteilhafterweise ist die Pumpe in einem Hohlraum des Zylinders eingebaut. Der Zylinder ist hierbei als Gleichgangzylinder ausgebildet, der in Differentialbauweise ausgestaltet ist. Somit ist ein Gleichgangzylinder in Differentialbauart mit einer integrierten Pumpe vorgesehen.According to the invention, a compact hydraulic axis has a cylinder. This can be operated via a pump (hydraulic pump). The pump is advantageously installed in a cavity of the cylinder. The cylinder is designed as a synchronous cylinder, which is designed in a differential design. Thus, a synchronous cylinder in differential design with an integrated pump is provided.
Diese Lösung hat den Vorteil, dass ein autarker Armaturenantrieb mit der erfindungsgemäßen hydraulischen Achse bei der Regelung und bei einem Schnellschluss von Gas- und Dampfturbinen ermöglicht ist. Durch die Integration der Pumpe in den Hohlraum des Zylinders kann ein Gehäuse der Pumpe, ein Steuerblock zusammen mit Ventilen und eine Verrohrung eingespart werden. Eine in der Pumpe erzeugte hydraulische Energie kann ohne oder mit geringen Umlenkungen und ohne oder geringen Strömungsverlusten zum Ansteuern des Zylinders eingesetzt werden. Da der Gleichgangzylinder in Differentialbauart ausgebildet ist, ist er in Axialrichtung gesehen vorteilhafterweise kürzer als ein üblicher Gleichgangzylinder, da sich von einem Kolben nur von einer Seite aus eine Kolbenstange erstreckt und somit kein Freiraum für eine weitere Kolbenstange des Gleichgangzylinders vorgesehen bzw. freigehalten werden muss. Somit ist durch den Gleichgangzylinder in Differentialbauart Bauraum für die Integration der Pumpe zur Verfügung gestellt. Des Weiteren ist vorteilhaft, dass der Zylinder volumenausgeglichen ist, womit im Unterschied zu einem Differentialzylinder kein Hydrospeicher zum Volumenausgleich notwendig ist. Somit ist durch die erfindungsgemäße hydraulische Achse eine Reduzierung der Komponenten durch Kombination von Zylinder- und Pumpenfunktionen ermöglicht. Hierdurch wird die hydraulische Achse vorteilhafterweise gewichts- und bauraumoptimiert und kombiniert Vorteile der elektrischen mit Vorteilen der hydraulischen Linearantriebe, wenn der Antrieb der Pumpe über einen Elektromotor erfolgt.This solution has the advantage that an autonomous valve drive with the hydraulic axis according to the invention is made possible for the regulation and for a quick closing of gas and steam turbines. By integrating the pump into the cavity of the cylinder, a housing of the pump, a control block together with valves and piping can be saved. A hydraulic energy generated in the pump can be used to control the cylinder with little or no deflection and with little or no flow loss. Since the synchronous cylinder is designed in a differential design, it is advantageously shorter in the axial direction than a conventional synchronous cylinder, since a piston rod extends from one piston only from one side and therefore no space must be provided or kept free for another piston rod of the synchronous cylinder. Thus, the synchronous cylinder in differential design provides space for the integration of the pump. It is also advantageous that the cylinder is volume-balanced, which means that, in contrast to a differential cylinder, no hydraulic accumulator is necessary for volume compensation. The hydraulic axis according to the invention thus makes it possible to reduce the components by combining cylinder and pump functions. As a result, the hydraulic axis is advantageously optimized in terms of weight and installation space and combines the advantages of the electrical with the advantages of the hydraulic linear drives if the pump is driven by an electric motor.

The inner cylinder tube is preferably firmly connected to the outer cylinder tube. Furthermore, the cylinder tubes are preferably arranged coaxially with one another. In terms of device technology, the cavity with the pump can be formed in the inner cylinder tube.

In diesem ist ein, insbesondere ringförmiger, Kolben axial verschiebbar angeordnet. Von diesem erstreckt sich eine etwa hohlzylindrische Kolbenstange, womit der Kolben an einer Seite mit einer Kolbenstange verbunden ist. Die Kolbenstange setzt sich durch eine Verschlussvorrichtung des Zylinders durch und ist auf einer vom Kolben wegweisenden Seite der Verschlussvorrichtung zum Begrenzen einer ersten Zylinderkammer verschlossen. Des Weiteren begrenzt der Kolben kolbenstangenseitig auf einer zum Kolben weisenden Seite der Verschlussvorrichtung eine zweite Zylinderkammer.The cylinder tubes, in particular the outer cylinder tube with its inner lateral surface and the inner cylinder tube with its outer lateral surface, delimit an annular space. A, in particular annular, piston is arranged axially displaceably in this. An approximately hollow cylindrical piston rod extends from this, whereby the piston is connected on one side to a piston rod. The piston rod asserts itself through a closing device of the cylinder and is closed on a side of the closing device facing away from the piston in order to delimit a first cylinder chamber. Furthermore, the piston delimits a second cylinder chamber on the piston rod side on a side of the closure device facing the piston.
Ein Druck in einer oder in beiden Zylinderkammern kann jeweils über ein Druckbegrenzungsventil begrenzt sein. Beispielsweise kann ein Druckbegrenzungsventil vorgesehen sein, dass ab einen bestimmten Druck in der zweiten Zylinderkammer eine Druckmittelverbindung zwischen der zweiten Zylinderkammer und der ersten Zylinderkammer aufsteuert. Alternativ oder zusätzlich ist denkbar, dass ein weiteres Druckbegrenzungsventil oder das gleiche Druckbegrenzungsventil ab einen bestimmten Druck in der ersten Zylinderkammer eine Druckmittelverbindung zwischen der ersten Zylinderkammer und der zweiten Zylinderkammer aufsteuert.A pressure in one or both cylinder chambers can be limited by a pressure relief valve. For example, a pressure limiting valve can be provided that opens a pressure medium connection between the second cylinder chamber and the first cylinder chamber from a certain pressure in the second cylinder chamber. Alternatively or additionally, it is conceivable that a further pressure relief valve or the same pressure relief valve opens a pressure medium connection between the first cylinder chamber and the second cylinder chamber from a certain pressure in the first cylinder chamber.
Diametral zur Verschlussvorrichtung ist der Zylinder zusätzlich von einem Zylinderboden verschlossen. Zum Verschließen der Kolbenstange kann ein Kolbendeckel vorgesehen sein. Der Gleichgangzylinder in Differentialbauart weist somit ein inneres Zylinderrohr, ein äußeres Zylinderrohr, einen Zylinderboden und eine Verschlussvorrichtung auf. Darin ist der Kolben mit einer Kolbenstange und einem Kolbendeckel angeordnet.Diametrically to the locking device, the cylinder is additionally closed by a cylinder base. A piston cover can be provided to close the piston rod. The synchronous cylinder in differential design thus has an inner cylinder tube, an outer cylinder tube, a cylinder base and a locking device. The piston is arranged with a piston rod and a piston cover.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind durch die hohlzylindrische Kolbenstange zwei Kammerabschnitte in der zweiten Zylinderkammer getrennt. Vorzugsweise sind hierdurch ein äußerer ringförmiger Kammerabschnitt und ein innerer ringförmiger Kammerabschnitt ausgebildet. Eine Verbindung der Kammerabschnitte kann über einen Strömungspfad erfolgen. In Axialrichtung können die Kammerabschnitte bzw. kann die zweite Zylinderkammer von dem Kolben und von der Verschlussvorrichtung begrenzt sein.In a further embodiment of the invention, two chamber sections are separated in the second cylinder chamber by the hollow cylindrical piston rod. This preferably forms an outer annular chamber section and an inner annular chamber section. The chamber sections can be connected via a flow path. The chamber sections or the second can in the axial direction Cylinder chamber be limited by the piston and by the closure device.
Die fluidische Verbindung der Kammerabschnitte erfolgt vorrichtungstechnisch einfach über zumindest eine in die Kolbenstange eingebrachte Aussparung. Bei dieser handelt es sich beispielsweise um eine Bohrung, um ein Langloch oder um eine Nut. Mit Vorteil ist die Aussparung hierbei benachbart zum Kolben angeordnet, womit selbst bei einer im Wesentlichen vollständig ausgefahrenen Kolbenstange die fluidische Verbindung der Kammerabschnitte nicht getrennt ist.In terms of device technology, the fluidic connection of the chamber sections takes place simply via at least one cutout made in the piston rod. This is, for example, a bore, an elongated hole or a groove. The recess is advantageously arranged adjacent to the piston, with which the fluidic connection of the chamber sections is not separated even when the piston rod is essentially fully extended.
Damit die Zylinderkammern volumenausgeglichen sind, sind eine die zweite Zylinderkammer begrenzende Wirkfläche des Kolbens und eine die erste Zylinderkammer begrenzende Wirkfläche der Kolbenstange etwa gleich groß.So that the cylinder chambers are volume-balanced, an effective area of the piston delimiting the second cylinder chamber and an effective area of the piston rod delimiting the first cylinder chamber are approximately the same size.
Zum Ansteuern des Kolbens kann einfach über die Pumpe Druckmittel von der ersten Zylinderkammer in die zweite Zylinderkammer und umgekehrt förderbar sein. Wird Druckmittel von der ersten in die zweite Zylinderkammer gefördert, so wird die Kolbenstange eingefahren. In umgekehrter Richtung fährt die Kolbenstange aus.To actuate the piston, pressure medium can simply be conveyed from the first cylinder chamber into the second cylinder chamber and vice versa via the pump. If pressure medium is conveyed from the first into the second cylinder chamber, the piston rod is retracted. The piston rod extends in the opposite direction.
Die Pumpe kann auch auf einfache Weise über eine Antriebswelle von einer Antriebseinheit, bei der es sich vorzugsweise, wie oben stehend bereits erläutert, um einen Elektromotor handelt, angetrieben werden. Die Antriebseinheit ist vorzugsweise innerhalb des inneren Zylinderrohrs zumindest abschnittsweise angeordnet und kann alternativ von außen an den Zylinder angeflanscht sein. Somit ist die hydraulische Achse im Wesentlichen autark und benötigt lediglich eine Energiezufuhr, beispielsweise elektrische Energie, zum Antreiben der Antriebseinheit.The pump can also be driven in a simple manner via a drive shaft by a drive unit which, as already explained above, is preferably an electric motor. The drive unit is preferably arranged at least in sections within the inner cylinder tube and can alternatively be flanged to the cylinder from the outside. The hydraulic axis is thus essentially self-sufficient and only requires an energy supply, for example electrical energy, to drive the drive unit.
Die Antriebswelle ist mit der Pumpe gekoppelt und über das innere Zylinderrohr zur Antriebseinheit und/oder nach außen geführt. Die Antriebswelle ist beispielsweise über eine Kupplung mit der Pumpe gekoppelt.The drive shaft is coupled to the pump and guided to the drive unit and / or to the outside via the inner cylinder tube. The drive shaft is coupled to the pump, for example, via a clutch.
Bei der Pumpe handelt es sich vorzugsweise um eine Kolbenpumpe. Alternativ ist denkbar eine Zahnradpumpe vorzusehen. Die Kolbenpumpe ist weiter vorzugsweise in Schrägscheibenbauweise ausgebildet. Eine Triebwelle der Kolbenpumpe durchsetzt insbesondere eine Schrägscheibe, eine Zylindertrommel und eine Verteilerplatte der Kolbenpumpe axial und ist in dem inneren Zylinderrohr drehbar über Lager, insbesondere Wälzlager, gelagert. Über einen Formschluss, beispielsweise über eine Passfederverbindung, kann die Triebwelle mit der Zylindertrommel verbunden sein. Die Zylindertrommel stützt sich vorzugsweise auf ihrer von der Schrägscheibe wegweisenden Seite an der Verteilerplatte ab.The pump is preferably a piston pump. Alternatively, it is conceivable to provide a gear pump. The piston pump is further preferably designed in a swashplate construction. A drive shaft of the piston pump in particular passes axially through a swash plate, a cylinder drum and a distributor plate of the piston pump and is rotatable in the inner cylinder tube via bearings, in particular Rolling bearings, stored. The drive shaft can be connected to the cylinder drum via a positive connection, for example via a feather key connection. The cylinder drum is preferably supported on its side facing away from the swash plate on the distributor plate.
Die Verschlussvorrichtung, die von der Kolbenstange durchsetzt ist, kann ein äußeres ringförmiges, die Kolbenstange umgreifendes Verschlusselement, insbesondere einen äußeren Zylinderdeckel, und ein inneres, innerhalb der Kolbestange angeordnetes Verschlusselement, insbesondere ein inneren Zylinderdeckel, aufweisen.The closure device, which is penetrated by the piston rod, can have an outer annular closure element, in particular an outer cylinder cover, which surrounds the piston rod, and an inner closure element, in particular an inner cylinder cover, arranged within the piston rod.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann bauraumsparend in dem inneren Verschlusselement ein erster Fluidkanal ausgebildet sein, der die erste Zylinderkammer mit der Pumpe fluidisch verbindet. Vorzugsweise ist ein zweiter Fluidkanal ausgebildet, der die zweite Zylinderkammer mit der Pumpe fluidisch verbindet. Zum fluidischen Verbinden der Fluidkanäle mit der Pumpe liegt beispielsweise die Verteilerplatte an dem inneren Verschlusselement an. Das innere Verschlusselement ist vorzugsweise im Wesentlichen zweistufig ausgestaltet, wobei es mit einer ersten kleineren Stufe in das innere Zylinderrohr eingesetzt ist und sich über eine zwischen den Stufen ausgebildete Schulter stirnseitig des inneren Zylinderrohrs abstützt.In a further embodiment of the invention, a first fluid channel can be formed in a space-saving manner in the inner closure element, which fluidically connects the first cylinder chamber to the pump. A second fluid channel is preferably formed, which fluidly connects the second cylinder chamber to the pump. For the fluidic connection of the fluid channels to the pump, for example, the distributor plate rests on the inner closure element. The inner closure element is preferably configured essentially in two stages, wherein it is inserted into the inner cylinder tube with a first smaller stage and is supported on the end face of the inner cylinder tube via a shoulder formed between the stages.
Das Druckbegrenzungsventil ist vorzugsweise über einen Kanal im inneren Verschlusselement mit dem der zweite Fluidkanal verbunden. Über das Druckbegrenzungsventil kann dann eine Druckmittelverbindung zwischen dem zweiten Fluidkanal und der ersten Zylinderkammer aufgesteuert werden. Das Druckbegrenzungsventil ist beispielsweise mit dem Verschlusselement fest verbunden.The pressure relief valve is preferably connected to the second fluid channel via a channel in the inner closure element. A pressure medium connection between the second fluid channel and the first cylinder chamber can then be opened via the pressure limiting valve. The pressure relief valve is, for example, firmly connected to the closure element.
Die Fluidkanäle sind beispielsweise vorrichtungstechnisch einfach als Bohrungen ausgebildet.The fluid channels are, for example, simply designed as bores in terms of device technology.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung hat die Verteilerplatte der Pumpe Steuernieren, die sich in dem inneren Verschlusselement als verschlusselementseitige Steuernieren fortsetzen, die jeweils mit einem der Fluidkanäle verbunden sind. Hierbei ist die Verteilerplatte vorzugsweise drehfest mit dem inneren Verschlusselement verbunden.In a further embodiment of the invention, the distributor plate of the pump has control kidneys, which continue in the inner closure element as control kidneys on the closure element side, each of which is connected to one of the fluid channels. Here, the distributor plate is preferably connected to the inner closure element in a rotationally fixed manner.
Zum Ausgleich einer Volumenänderung eines Druckmittels im Zylinder bei Temperaturänderungen kann ein, insbesondere kleiner, Hydrospeicher vorgesehen sein. Dieser kann zusätzlich derart ausgestaltet sein, dass er zum Vorspannen des jeweiligen Niederdruckbereichs einsetzbar ist. Vorrichtungstechnisch einfach kann der Hydrospeicher in dem inneren Verschlusselement integriert sein. Damit der Hydrospeicher mit dem jeweiligen Niederdruckbereich verbindbar ist, ist der erste Fluidkanal über ein erstes sich hin zum Hydrospeicher schließendes Rückschlagventil mit diesem verbunden und der zweite Fluidkanal über ein zweites sich hin zum Hydrospeicher schließendes Rückschlagventil mit diesem verbunden.To compensate for a change in volume of a pressure medium in the cylinder in the event of temperature changes, a, in particular small, hydraulic accumulator can be provided. This can also be designed in such a way that it can be used for prestressing the respective low-pressure region. In terms of device technology, the hydraulic accumulator can be integrated in the inner closure element. So that the hydraulic accumulator can be connected to the respective low-pressure region, the first fluid channel is connected to the hydraulic accumulator via a first check valve that closes toward the hydraulic accumulator and the second fluid channel is connected to the hydraulic accumulator via a second check valve that closes towards the hydraulic accumulator.
Der Hydrospeicher kann in weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung als ein Kolbenspeicher mit einem federvorgespannten Speicherkolben ausgebildet sein. Die Vorspannung erfolgt hierbei beispielsweise derart, dass ein jeweiliger Niederdruckbereich vorgespannt ist. Eine Vorspannung kann hier beispielsweise etwa 5 bar betragen. Der Speicherkolben des Kolbenspeichers ist beispielsweise in einer Sacklochbohrung des inneren Verschlusselements axial geführt. Zum Verschließen der Sacklochbohrung gegenüber der ersten Zylinderkammer ist ein Deckelelement vorgesehen, das auf dem inneren Verschlusselement anliegt. An dem Deckelelement kann sich eine Speicherfeder abstützen und den Speicherkolben mit einer Federkraft beaufschlagen. Über einen Leckagekanal kann der Hydrospeicher zusätzlich mit der Pumpe für eine Pumpenleckage verbunden sein. Der Leckagekanal erstreckt sich beispielsweise ausgehend von der Sacklochbohrung, insbesondere koaxial zu dieser, hin zur Triebwelle der Pumpe und kann sich darin fortsetzen.In a further embodiment of the invention, the hydraulic accumulator can be designed as a piston accumulator with a spring-preloaded accumulator piston. The pretensioning takes place, for example, in such a way that a respective low-pressure region is pretensioned. A preload can be about 5 bar, for example. The storage piston of the piston accumulator is guided axially, for example, in a blind hole in the inner closure element. To close the blind hole with respect to the first cylinder chamber, a cover element is provided which rests on the inner closure element. A storage spring can be supported on the cover element and act on the storage piston with a spring force. The hydraulic accumulator can also be connected to the pump for pump leakage via a leakage channel. The leakage channel extends, for example, starting from the blind hole, in particular coaxially to it, towards the drive shaft of the pump and can continue therein.
Mit Vorteil kann im Zylinderboden des Zylinders ein optischer Entfernungsmesser vorgesehen sein, der auch redundant ausgebildet sein kann. Über den Entfernungsmesser ist vorzugsweise eine Entfernung zum Kolben messbar, da in der Zylinderkammer, die vom Kolben und dem Zylinderboden begrenzt ist, kein Druckmittel, sondern beispielsweise ein Gas (Luft) vorgesehen sein kann. Bei dem optischen Entfernungsmesser handelt es sich beispielsweise um einen Laserentfernungsmesser, womit auf einfache Weise ein Wegmesssystem integriert werden kann.An optical rangefinder can advantageously be provided in the cylinder base of the cylinder, which can also be designed redundantly. A distance to the piston can preferably be measured via the range finder, since in the cylinder chamber, which is delimited by the piston and the cylinder base, no pressure medium, but instead, for example, a gas (air) can be provided. The optical range finder is, for example, a laser range finder, with which a distance measuring system can be integrated in a simple manner.
