Definitions

  • the invention relates to a preferably hydraulic pressure amplifier according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a pressure intensifier is referred to here as a device that automatically produces a working fluid that is output at a higher pressure from a drive fluid available under low pressure, without an additional external drive. The details of such a device will be explained in more detail later.
  • Such pressure amplifiers are used in many areas. The following areas of application are not exhaustive. For example, such pressure boosters are used to use low-pressure vehicle hydraulics to generate a high-pressure water jet for a cleaning device or to operate rescue scissors at high pressure to rescue passengers from accident vehicles.
  • Such pressure amplifiers are also used in a variety of ways in industrial applications, for example to supply clamping tools or rotating chucks with the high pressure required for clamping.
  • the clamping tools can be clamping tools used in industrial production or clamping tools used in assembly, and the rotating chucks can be part of a machine tool or, for example, a drill pipe for carrying out earth drilling.
  • the pressure amplifiers can be used individually or cascaded in series if a particularly high pressure is to be generated that cannot be achieved using a single pressure amplifier.
  • the pressure amplifiers known in the prior art are typically connected via high-pressure hoses or hydraulic pipes to the hydraulic block, which supplies them with low-pressure hydraulic fluid and receives used hydraulic fluid.
  • the connection to the high-pressure consumer, which is supplied with the increased pressure hydraulic fluid generated by the pressure booster, is also usually made via hydraulic hoses or pipes.
  • a pressure amplifier is known from the literature DE 196 33 258 C1 .
  • Another known pressure booster has a coupling section for connection to a hydraulic block. It is held by an outer flange facing away from the coupling section with through holes through which it can be screwed to the hydraulic block using several through-bolts.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of creating a pressure amplifier that can be connected to a hydraulic block without pipes or hoses and at the same time particularly reliably. This task is solved with the features of claim 1.
  • a pressure amplifier for fluids in particular for liquids, which is generally ready for operation and only requires connection to a pressure supply, a tank connection and a consumer for the higher pressure it generates.
  • the pressure amplifier therefore forms a ready-to-use unit that can be inserted completely or partially into a hydraulic block.
  • the pressure booster consists of a cylinder block in which a pressure booster piston and a control piston move cyclically.
  • the control piston can assume different positions and thereby determines the working cycles of the pressure booster piston, whereby the control piston is not actuated by a mechanical forced control in the manner of a camshaft, but purely by a pressure difference.
  • the pressure amplifier is designed in such a way that whenever it has reached a certain position, it initiates a change in the pressure conditions on the control piston so that it changes position.
  • the pressure booster piston is preferably designed as a differential piston with two differently sized, hydraulically effective piston surfaces; in any case, it forms a high-pressure working space and a low-pressure working space in the cylinder block.
  • the pressure booster piston is usually solid, ie it preferably has no through holes that, for example, connect the high-pressure work space and the low-pressure work space with each other. Instead, the pressure booster piston usually has a constriction in the area of its circumference, which forms an intermediate space that lies between the high-pressure working space and the low-pressure working space.
  • the cylinder block has an external connection for feeding pressurized fluid from the outside, which is also called a low-pressure connection - because the pressure of the fluid here is lower than the pressure of the fluid delivered to the consumer by the pressure booster.
  • the fluid under said low pressure is intended to do work in the pressure amplifier and may also serve as a basis for generating and dispensing high-pressure fluid, i.e. a fluid that is under a higher pressure than the low-pressure fluid.
  • high-pressure fluid i.e. a fluid that is under a higher pressure than the low-pressure fluid.
  • the high-pressure fluid is delivered to the outside to an external consumer via an external high-pressure connection as working fluid under higher pressure.
  • the pressure amplifier has a connection for dispensing fluid whose working capacity has been exhausted in the pressure amplifier.
  • This connection is also referred to below as the tank connection, even if it does not necessarily have to lead to a tank in the narrower sense. It should also be mentioned that the space in question usually forms part of a channel that leads to the tank connection.
  • the cylinder block of the pressure booster is here preferably understood to be a solid metallic body that contains all the cylinder bores and channels that are required for the pressure booster piston and the control piston to work together.
  • the solid metallic body has cross-sections everywhere, at least in the area of the control piston and the pressure booster piston, in which the area that the solid material occupies in the cross-section is larger than the area that the cylinder bores and the channels occupy in the cross-section .
  • the cylinder block of the pressure booster has a coupling section rigidly connected to it.
  • the coupling section is designed to be inserted into a receiving bore of a hydraulic block. It is designed in such a way that the receiving bore encloses the coupling section on its circumference and usually also on the front side.
  • the coupling section has at least two fluid transfer areas that are fluidly separated from one another by a seal and are used to exchange fluid between the pressure booster and the hydraulic block in which it is inserted.
  • the fluid transfer areas are positioned on the coupling section so that they lie inside the hydraulic block into which the coupling section has been inserted, below the outer surface of the hydraulic block against which the part of the pressure intensifier not inserted into the hydraulic block abuts.
  • the fluid transfer areas are at least 20 mm, better at least 30 mm, below the surface of the hydraulic block.
  • the pressure amplifier is preferably designed in such a way that a channel opens into a fluid transfer area from the interior of the cylinder block of the pressure amplifier, via which the pressure amplifier releases fluid during operation, the working capacity of which can be used within the pressure amplifier has been exhausted. Another channel opens into a further fluid transfer area, also coming from the interior of the cylinder block. Low-pressure fluid is fed into the pressure amplifier via this channel, i.e. fluid that drives the pressure amplifier and possibly also forms the basis for generating fluid that is under higher pressure and is to be delivered to a consumer.
  • the coupling section has a third fluid transfer area for transferring the working fluid under higher pressure to the hydraulic block.
  • no pipes or hydraulic hoses are required to connect the pressure intensifier to its surroundings and thus make it ready for use. Instead, there is a direct hydraulic connection between the cylinder block of the pressure intensifier and the hydraulic block.
  • At least one of the fluid transfer areas comprises an annular groove running around the circumferential surface of the coupling section.
  • the coupling section has an external thread for screwing the coupling section into the hydraulic block. In this way, the coupling section is mechanically securely anchored in the hydraulic block.
  • the plurality of fluid transfer areas are preferably arranged between the free end of the coupling section that is to be inserted into the hydraulic block and the external thread of the coupling section.
  • the outer diameter of the coupling section usually tapers at the transition between the external thread and the rest of the coupling section.
  • the cylinder block of the pressure booster has a molded hexagon for attaching a screwing tool.
  • the coupling section is traversed by at least two bores running parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pressure booster, which extend from the free end face of the coupling section into the area of the cylinder block of the pressure booster, which is always positioned outside the hydraulic block receiving the coupling section.
  • the required fluidic connection can be easily established between the corresponding channels inside the cylinder block of the pressure amplifier and the fluid transfer areas.
  • the holes can be made in one operation from the front side of the coupling section until they intersect with the channels to be connected through them inside the pressure amplifier.
  • such bores make it very easy to form one of the fluid transfer areas on the free end face of the coupling section and the other of the fluid transfer areas in the area of the peripheral surface of the coupling section.
  • a hydraulic unit with a hydraulic block in which several bores through which hydraulic fluid flows are formed for connecting different hydraulic active elements (controllable or non-controllable valves and / or pumps and / or pressure compensation tank and / or several pressure amplifiers), and at least one Pressure amplifier of the type according to the invention, wherein the pressure amplifier has a coupling section which is inserted into a bore in the hydraulic block and fixed there.
  • the hydraulic unit can be designed to be particularly compact because the pressure boosters do not require any piping or hydraulic hoses to connect to the hydraulic block and can therefore be installed very close together on the hydraulic block.
  • the Fig. 1 shows the pressure amplifier 1, which is completely formed in a metal, preferably steel, cylinder block 13, which is cut here and is therefore initially only shown schematically as a box-like outline by four solid lines forming a rectangle.
  • the cylinder block preferably has the outer contour of a cylinder which is rotationally symmetrical about the longitudinal axis L.
  • the cylinder block 13 consists of at least two and ideally three separate, ie separable, cylinder block elements that are not connected to one another in terms of material.
  • the cylinder block 13 consists of the three cylinder block elements 13.1, 13.2 and 13.3, as indicated by the dashed dividing lines.
  • the several cylinder block elements are fixed to one another in a defined position relative to one another in a form-fitting manner, for example using dowel pins not shown here.
  • a pressure booster piston 2 works in this cylinder block.
  • This pressure booster piston 2 is typically designed as a differential piston with two differently sized hydraulic active surfaces that act in opposite directions and then consists of a low-pressure piston N with a large diameter and a high-pressure piston H with a small diameter, which are fixed to each other are connected by a piston skirt S.
  • the low-pressure piston N forms a low-pressure working space 10 in the cylinder block
  • the high-pressure piston H forms a high-pressure working space 11 in the cylinder block.
  • a gap 12 is formed between the two pistons in the area of their connection by the piston skirt S, the function of which will be explained later.
  • the pressure booster piston preferably has a longitudinal axis which is parallel to the longitudinal axis L of the cylinder block 13.
  • the gear ratio i.e. H. the factor by which the fed-in low pressure can be increased depends on the diameter ratio DN/DH of the low-pressure piston N and the high-pressure piston H.
  • a control piston 3 works in the cylinder block 13.
  • its longitudinal axis is also parallel to the longitudinal axis L of the cylinder block 13.
  • the control piston and the differential piston are arranged completely or at least predominantly next to one another, seen perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
  • Fig. 1 shows the pressure booster piston 2, the control piston 3 and all the connecting lines required for operation projected into one plane for better clarity.
  • the components mentioned do not all lie in one plane, because such an arrangement would make extremely poor use of the cross section of the cylinder block:
  • the pistons and the connecting lines would crowd each other, while in a cutting plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, no piston and almost no connecting lines would be found.
  • the pressure amplifier communicates to the outside via its external low-pressure connection 5 with an external low-pressure source. From this, the pressure booster draws hydraulic fluid under lower pressure, which drives it. Preferably, part of this hydraulic fluid fed into the pressure booster at lower pressure is put under higher pressure in the pressure booster and output from the pressure booster to an external consumer as hydraulic fluid under higher pressure.
  • the pressure booster has an external tank connection 6, via which it releases at least part of the hydraulic fluid drawn at lower pressure to the outside when this hydraulic fluid has completed its work within the pressure booster. Delivery is preferably made to an external tank or an external hydraulic fluid reservoir, but this is not mandatory.
  • the pressure intensifier has another connection, the so-called external high-pressure connection 7.
  • the pressure intensifier releases hydraulic fluid that has been placed under higher pressure (compared to the lower pressure in the supply) to a hydraulic machine, such as a rescue scissor, a clamping device or a hydraulic collet chuck.
  • a hydraulic machine such as a rescue scissor, a clamping device or a hydraulic collet chuck.
  • external connection it means that a connection is external because the pressure amplifier can be directly connected to the environment via this connection.
  • a low-pressure line 8 connects to the external connection 5 to the low-pressure source within the cylinder block 13.
  • the low pressure line 8 soon branches off. It branches into a low-pressure line section 8.1, which primarily serves to supply the high-pressure working space with fresh low-pressure fluid, and also serves to supply the control piston 3 with low pressure via the low-pressure line section 8.4.
  • the preferred low-pressure line section 8.2 leads past the high-pressure working space directly into the line that leads to the high-pressure consumer.
  • the low-pressure line section 8.2 if present, serves to initially fill a newly connected, still empty high-pressure consumer with low-pressure fluid and to displace the air from the possibly initially empty lines of the high-pressure consumer, so that high-pressure generation can then begin .
  • a tank or return flow line 9 is connected to the connection 6 to the external tank.
  • the tank or return flow line 9 soon branches off within the cylinder block 13 into a return flow line section 9.1, which comes from the control piston, and a line section 9.2, which, as will be discussed later, at a given time and with the appropriate, i. d. R. externally implemented hydraulic circuit of the pressure amplifier serves as a control line for the controllable check valve 4.3.
  • this control piston 3 is also designed as a differential piston.
  • Fig. 1 The basic functionality of the pressure intensifier can be explained quite clearly:
  • a work cycle is currently taking place, ie the pressure booster piston 2 moves in the direction of the black arrow into the high-pressure working space 11.
  • the high-pressure working space 11 is initially filled with low-pressure fluid, ie preferably with fluid that is under the low pressure of the feed pump.
  • the pressure booster piston By moving the pressure booster piston into the high-pressure working space 11, the fluid located there is put under increased pressure and delivered to the high-pressure consumer via the check valve 4.2 and the external high-pressure connection 7.
  • the low-pressure working space 10 which continuously enlarges over the course of the work cycle, is constantly supplied with low-pressure fluid, i.e. H. refilled with fluid obtained under the low pressure via the external low-pressure connection 5. This refilling takes place via the connecting line 14.
  • This is connected to the low-pressure line section 8.4, which carries fluid under low pressure, using the control piston 3 - namely via its slimmed area V1, which is between the connections C and P.
  • the control piston 3 remains in the position of Fig. 1 position shown. It is indeed constantly subjected to low pressure on one (here the lower) end face via the low-pressure line section 8.3. At the same time, however, it has also been subjected to low pressure on its opposite (here the upper) end face via the control line 8.5 since the start of the work cycle. The reason for this is that the high-pressure working space was filled with low-pressure fluid at the beginning of the work cycle using the low-pressure line section 8.1. The low pressure in the control line 8.5 is maintained even when the high-pressure piston has passed over the mouth of the control line 8.5 in the high-pressure working space and thereby sealed it. Due to the fact that the low pressure on the upper end face of the control piston 3 acts on a larger area than on the lower end face of the control piston 3, a resulting downward force permanently acts on the control piston.
  • the intermediate space 12 is also connected to the external tank connection 6, i.e. it is kept depressurized. This is necessary in order to be able to drain away any leakage that may possibly flow from the high-pressure working space and/or from the low-pressure working space into the intermediate space 12, so that no disruptive back pressure can build up in this intermediate space because hydraulic fluid may be trapped.
  • FIG. 2 shows the top dead center, i.e. the moment at which the pressure booster piston 2 stopped in its movement and the direction of movement changes Fig. 3 the charging cycle, during which the pressure booster piston 2 penetrates deeper into the low-pressure working space.
  • control piston works without a spring.
  • the otherwise necessary application of the closing force of a spring is replaced by the constant application of low pressure to one end face. This contributes to the achievement of the goal of making the pressure amplifier smaller, since the installation space required to accommodate a spring that can be installed in a replaceable manner at a later date is eliminated.
  • This line serves to relax the high-pressure consumer at the appropriate time.
  • connection 5 which was previously connected to the external low pressure, is now depressurized or connected to the tank via a valve that is preferably external, outside the cylinder block 13, and the connection 6, which was previously connected to the external tank, is now connected to the low-pressure source.
  • controllable check valve 4.3 works.
  • the pressure amplifier according to the invention is operated with a switching valve 25, which is preferably mounted externally.
  • the changeover valve 25 is switched so that it is already based on the Figures 1 to 3
  • the operation discussed takes place in which high-pressure fluid is generated, cf. Fig. 4 .
  • pilot hole that can be recognized and forms a throttle. While the pilot control bore is symbolized schematically as a bypass throttle 24* in the figures, in reality it is preferred that the pilot bore penetrates the upper part of the control piston 3 which is hatched to the right and can be seen in the figures. It connects the area of the upper free end face of the control piston 3 with the slimming V1. In this way, the control line 8.5 is permanently connected to the slimming V1.
  • the purpose of this pilot control hole is to ensure a defined position of the pressure booster piston 2 even if the pressure booster has stood still for a long time.
  • the pilot control hole As long as the pilot control hole is missing, it can happen that after the pressure booster piston has been stationary for a long time, the control line 8.5 has lost the pressure initially contained in it due to microleakage and the control piston 3 then assumes an undefined position, which makes it difficult to start up again.
  • the purpose of the pilot control hole is to always ensure that the control line 8.5 is still correctly pressurized even after a long time and therefore forces the control piston 3 into a defined position, which enables the pressure intensifier to start up again without any problems.
  • the flow flowing through the pilot bore is chosen so that it is so low that it plays no role during ongoing operation. Only during longer downtimes does the flow through the pilot bore add up and thus produce the desired effect, as described above.

  • B. also includes the actuator through which the user controls the system hydraulically.
  • the cylinder block 13 or its cylinder block element 13.1 merges integrally into a coupling section 101, i.e. H. Part of the peripheral surface of the cylinder block of the pressure booster forms the coupling section 101.
  • the coupling section 101 has a circular cylindrical shape. It preferably has a diameter that is reduced compared to the rest of the cylinder block 13, which is also usually circular cylindrical, ideally by at least 30%.
  • the diameter of the coupling section 101 preferably corresponds to the core diameter of a metric thread and is reduced compared to this by a tolerance amount which allows the part of the coupling section 101 that does not have an external thread to be pushed through the section of the hydraulic block 100 that has an internal thread.
  • the length of the coupling section 101 in the direction of the longitudinal axis L of the pressure booster 1 is preferably at least 25%, better at least 30%, of the total length of the cylinder block 13 of the pressure booster 1. This ensures that the coupling section 101 can penetrate deep enough into the hydraulic block 100 an area that lies in the solid material of the hydraulic block, below the mostly flat surface of the hydraulic block 100 surrounding the bore for inserting the coupling section 101.
  • the coupling section 101 when installed in the hydraulic block 100, is surrounded on its circumference by solid material of the hydraulic block (possibly traversed by local channels), which, viewed in the radial direction, has a thickness of at least around is larger by a factor of 1.5 than the largest radius of the circular cylindrical cylinder block 13.
  • the "low pressure" or lower pressure feeding the pressure amplifier does not necessarily have to be a low pressure in absolute terms. Because where a very large pressure difference has to be overcome, the pressure amplifiers according to the invention can be used in cascade, i.e. H. a subsequent pressure amplifier is then fed by the high pressure of the previous pressure amplifier.
  • the coupling section 101 not only ensures a fluid connection between the pressure booster 1 and the hydraulic block 100, which the pressure booster supplies. Rather, it also holds the pressure amplifier 1 mechanically in its installed position by predominantly or completely absorbing the weight and all forces occurring during operation as a result of the mass of the pressure amplifier 1 and passing it on to the hydraulic block 100, e.g. B. the acceleration forces that occur on the pressure booster when the hydraulic block rotates or moves.

  • the first fluid transfer area 104 is delimited on both sides by seals 114, which are preferably cord seals inserted with or without a support ring in a circumferential ring groove on the coupling section 101.
  • the in Fig. 8 Easily recognizable low-pressure line section 8 opens into a transverse bore, which on its other side opens into the outer surface of the cylinder block or (where present) of the second cylinder block element 13.2, within the first fluid transfer area 104.
  • the cylinder block 13 preferably does not have an annular groove in this area, but is smooth and therefore unweakened.
  • the corresponding annular groove is here instead preferably mounted in the hydraulic block 100.
  • the "tank line” shown is preferably extended through a bore running within the cylinder block 13 into the area of the front shoulder 116 of the coupling section 101, where it opens into the second fluid transfer area 105.
  • the second fluid transfer area is preferably limited in the direction of the outside of the hydraulic block by a further seal 118 and is therefore kept small, the seal preferably also lying in a circumferential annular groove of the coupling section and can correspond to the seals 114, 115.
  • the front shoulder 116 is formed in that the coupling section tapers here.
  • the tapered cylinder extension 117 of the coupling section 101 is designed so that it can be inserted into a second, tapered part of the receiving hole, which is designed here as a stepped hole in the hydraulic block 100.
  • the tapered cylindrical extension 117 has at least one, preferably two, circumferential annular grooves into which one or two seals 119 are inserted - usually with support rings. These one or two seals seal the third fluid transfer area 113 from the second fluid transfer area 105.
  • the third fluid transfer area is therefore formed at the free end of the coupling section 101.
  • the high-pressure line opens into the free end, so that the external high-pressure connection 7 is formed here.
  • the said tapering of the cylindrical extension 117 takes place taking into account the high pressure there. This preferably makes it necessary to keep the lengths to be sealed small and also to keep the areas exposed to the high pressure effect and thus the forces that arise there small.
  • a pressure amplifier cascade consisting of a hydraulic block 100 and several pressure amplifiers 1 connected hydraulically in series, characterized in that the pressure amplifiers 1 attached next to one another on the hydraulic block 100 are those according to one of the preceding claims.
