Definitions
- the present invention relates to a valve, having a conduit for conducting a fluid, and a seal disposed in the conduit.
- the invention thus relates to a valve comprising a conduit for conducting a fluid, a seal disposed in the conduit, a rotary flap disposed in the conduit, and capable of closing the conduit while bearing on the seal when the flap is in the closed position, a leakage of fluid from one side to the other of the flap occurring in this closed position during operation of the valve, the flap is arranged to participate, in its closed position, to the creation of a pressure drop impacting the leak. Thanks to the invention, the leakage rate can be reduced to a low value due to the pressure drop.
- the flap is arranged to force the leak to make a turn to create the pressure drop. Due to the abrupt change of direction of the leakage flow, a pressure drop is thus created.
- the turn of the leak is at an angle of about 90 °.
- Such an angle is a good compromise between ease of obtaining the shape and creating a high pressure drop.
- the turn is formed by a step on the flap.
- valve is arranged so that the leakage occurs between the step of the shutter and the seal.
- the space between the step of the flap and the seal forms a channel changing abruptly direction and thus creating a high pressure drop.
- This channel may also be of reduced section, which further limits the leakage rate.
- the step is formed by a recess flap.
- the recess can be easily created by removing material on the shutter, for example by machining.
- the step is closer to the periphery of the shutter than to the center of the shutter.
- walking is adjacent to the perimeter of the shutter.
- the step comprises two facets joining along an edge.
- This type of step is obtained very simply, for example by milling.
- the edge extends parallel to an axis of rotation of the flap.
- at least one of the facets is flat.
- the flap comprises two wings located on either side of the axis of rotation.
- one of the wings of the flap has a width greater than the other flap of the flap, to form a radial edge substantially parallel to the axis of rotation.
- the shutter thus presents a setback.
- the step is adjacent to this radial edge.
- the walk is formed along the setback.
- the flap comprises two steps distant from each other.
- the two steps are symmetrical to each other with respect to a median plane of the flap.
- the two steps have different dimensions. It is possible to ensure that one of the steps has a width, height or depth different from those of the other step without changing the principle of the invention.
- the seal extends at least partially in a space provided by the step, when the flap is in the closed position.
- valve is arranged so that the flap can rotate while providing a clearance between the flap and the seal.
- a low clearance makes it possible to obtain a low leakage rate, as this favorably influences two factors having the same effects: reduction of the surface of the leak and increase of the pressure drop.
- a game is nevertheless necessary to avoid the risk of contact between moving parts, which could generate friction, jamming and wear.
- the flap comprises two flap portions at least partially stacked.
- At least one part of the flap comprises a plate.
- This form is simple to manufacture and well suited for use as a component.
- the step is adjacent to a wall of the edge of the plate (5).
- at least one part of the flap having an opening, this opening being closed by the second part of the flap. The distance over which the overlap between the two flaps is made can thus be increased without increasing the mass of the assembly.
- the two parts of the shutter have the same thickness.
- the two parts of the flap are of different thickness.
- the flap has a plane of symmetry perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
- the two parts of the shutter are assembled by screwing, or by welding, or soldering, or by gluing.
- the shutter can be made in one piece.
- the valve comprises a shaft of rotation of the shutter.
- the shaft is tapped, fastening screws pass through the flap and secure the flap with the shaft.
- the step is arranged in the flap portion in mechanical contact with the rotation shaft.
- the operation of performing the step is performed on a single piece.
- the seal is metallic. This type of material is particularly suitable for applications in which the fluid temperature is high, such as exhaust gas recirculation valves.
- the seal is formed of a stack of at least two pieces of seal.
- the offset of the bearing surfaces of each of the parts of the shutter is obtained naturally.
- the joint pieces have the same thickness.
- the seal parts are indexed in rotation. This makes it possible to ensure precise positioning of the joint pieces during assembly of the product.
- the seal pieces are made of stainless steel. This material is recommended for applications where the fluid passing through the valve is chemically aggressive.
- the metal seal pieces are brass.
- the ratio between height and depth of walking is between 0.3 and 1.5. This ratio is determined by the desired clearance between flap and seal and by the distance separating the plane of the flap from the axis of rotation.
- the valve comprises an electric motor capable of driving the shaft of rotation of the flap.
- the conduit is arranged to conduct a gaseous mixture comprising recirculated exhaust gas.
- the invention also relates to an internal combustion engine comprising a valve as described above, the valve being arranged to conduct a gaseous mixture of the engine.
- Figure 1 shows a sectional view of a valve assembly according to the invention, the shutter then being in the closed position of the conduit.
- FIG. 2 shows a view of a portion of the valve with the flap in the closed position of the duct, the angle of view being that of the axis of the duct.
- Figure 3 shows a sectional view of a valve assembly according to the invention, the flap being in the open position at an angle of about 20 °.
- FIG. 4 details a shutter according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a valve 1 comprising a body 2a, a duct for conducting a fluid, comprising an upstream part 7 and a downstream part 8.
- a flap 4 fixed on a rotation shaft 3, is arranged in the duct and a modification of the angular position of the flap 4 makes it possible to vary the flow rate of fluid passing through the valve 1.
- the flap 4 is formed of two partially stacked flap portions 5, 6. These two parts of flap 5.6 are in the form of a plate and the overlap between the two plates takes place in the vicinity of the zone where the flap 4 is fixed on the rotation shaft 3.
- the two flap parts 5, 6 each have a completely flat face, and the partial covering is performed on this flat surface.
- the flap portion 5, hereinafter referred to as the first portion is in contact with the rotation shaft 3.
- the other flap portion 6, hereinafter referred to as the second portion, is in contact with the first flap portion 5 but not with the rotation shaft 3.
- the first part of flap 5 is thus between the rotation shaft 3 and the second part 6 of the flap 4.
- Fastening screws 19 pass through openings 20 formed in the thickness of the flap 4 and secure the flap 4 with the rotation shaft 3.
- a seal 9, formed of two partially stacked seal pieces 10a, 10b, is disposed in the conduit, and is held in the body 2a by a flange 2b.
- the flap 4 may close the duct bearing on the seal 9 when the flap 4 is in the closed position.
- the first flap portion 5 comes into planar contact with the first seal piece 10a, which protrudes from the second seal piece 10b in that area.
- the first seal part is meant that which is farthest from the rotation shaft 3.
- the second flap portion 6 comes into planar contact with the second seal part 10b, which is projecting from relative to the first joint piece 10a in this area.
- Fluid flow from one side to the other of the flap 4 can therefore be done through these two zones 11. This flow is the only place where a leak is possible, a plane-to-plane contact of the shutter 4 on the 2 parts seal 10a, 10b being provided everywhere else.
- the invention will seek to reduce as much as possible this leakage rate without resorting to the use of parts with narrow geometric tolerances. In fact, reducing the tolerances on the parts would entail a consequent overcost which penalizes the final product on the market.
- the shutter 4 is arranged to participate, in its closed position, in the creation of a pressure drop impacting the leak.
- the flap 4 is arranged to force the leakage flow passing through the zones 11 to make a turn to create a pressure drop.
- the bend of the leak is at an angle of about 90 °.
- the direction of the leakage flow rotates 90 ° between its entry through zone 11 and its exit through zone 12. This flow direction change, also called a turn, is formed by a walk
- the step 13 is formed by a recess present on the profile of the shutter 4.
- the step 13 is closer to the periphery of the flap 4 than the center of the flap 4.
- the step 13 is adjacent to the periphery of the flap 4.
- the step 13 comprises two facets 14, 16 joining along a ridge 15.
- the facets 14 and 16 delimit the recess present on the profile of the flap 4.
- edge 15 extends parallel to an axis of rotation Y of the flap 4.
- At least one of the facets 14, 16 is flat.
- This type of geometry can for example be obtained by milling at two locations located around the periphery of the flap 4, the milling direction being that of the axis of rotation Y of the flap 4.
- one of the wings of the flap 4 has a width greater than the other flange of the flap 4, to form a radial edge substantially parallel to the axis of rotation Y.
- the step 13 is adjacent to this radial edge.
- the step 13 is formed along the recess.
- the flap 4 comprises two steps 13 spaced apart from each other.
- the two steps 13 are arranged to be symmetrical to one another with respect to a median plane of the flap 4.
- the two steps 13 may have different dimensions. Indeed, the width L, the height H, the depth P of a step 13 may be different from those of the other step 13.
- the two flap portions 5 and 6 of the flap 4 constitute two wings of the flap 4.
- the two flanges are located on either side of the axis of rotation Y, when the the valve 1 is viewed in a direction perpendicular to the flap 4, the flap 4 being in the closed position.
- the rotation shaft 3 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction, the part being represented as in FIG. flap 5 moves away from the seal 10 while moving downwards, and the second flap portion 6 moves away from the seal 9 while moving upwards in the direction of FIG.
- the seal 9 extends at least partially in a space provided by the step 13. In the example illustrated in FIG. 4, this space is delimited by the facets 14, 16, 17 of the march.
- the valve 1 is arranged so that the flap 4 can pivot while providing a clearance between the flap 4 and the seal 9.
- the edge 18 describes an arc which approximates the seal 9, also a game must be integrated to avoid interference between the edge 18 and the joint 9. This game determines the height of the passage 12.
- a low clearance makes it possible to obtain a low leakage rate, as this favorably influences two factors having the same effects: reduction of the surface of the leak and increase of the pressure drop.
- the clearance must be sufficient to avoid the risks of contact other than those required for the plane-to-plane seal of the flap 4 on the gasket 9.
- the ratio between the height H and the depth P of the step is between 0.3 and 1.5. This ratio is determined by the desired clearance between the flap 4 and the seal 9 and by the distance between the edge 18 of the axis of rotation Y on the one hand and the edge of the seal 9 on the other hand.
- the step is adjacent to a wall of the portion 21 of the flap part 5.
- At least one of the flap portions 5, 6 has an opening 22, and this opening 22 is closed by the second flap portion 6.5.
- This opening 22 makes it possible to increase the distance over which the covering between the two parts of flap 5, 6 is made while lightening the parts. This opening is also illustrated in FIG.
- the two parts of shutter 5.6 have the same thickness.
- the two parts of flap 5.6 are of different thickness.
- the flap 4 has a plane of symmetry perpendicular to the axis of rotation Y, and the two parts of the flap 5,6 are assembled by screwing.
- the two parts of the shutter 5.6 are assembled by welding, brazing, gluing. Other assembly methods may of course be envisaged.
- the flap 4 it is possible to realize the flap 4 in one piece, as long as the characteristic geometry of the invention is ensured.
- the step 13 is arranged in the flap portion 5 in mechanical contact with the rotation shaft 3. The flap portion 6 does not participate in the creation of the step.
- the seal 9 is metallic. This type of material is particularly suitable for applications in which the fluid temperature is high.
- the seal pieces 10a, 10b are made of stainless steel. This material is recommended for applications where the fluid passing through the valve is chemically aggressive. Thus this type of seal is particularly suitable for applications circulating engine exhaust.
- the metal seal pieces 10a, 10b are made of brass.
- seal pieces 10a, 10b are indexed in rotation.
- a protruding lug of each seal piece 10a, 10b can be slid into a notch, which ensures a precise positioning of the seal pieces 10a, 10b during assembly of the product.
- the valve 1 comprises an electric motor capable of driving the rotation shaft 3 of the flap 4.
- the example illustrated is that of an exhaust gas recirculation valve for an internal combustion engine, and thus conducts a gaseous mixture comprising recirculated exhaust gas.
