Definitions
- the invention relates to an electropneumatic pressure transducer with an electromagnetic actuator, an armature, which is movable by means of the actuator, an anchor head, which is connected to the armature, a housing having a vacuum chamber, a control pressure chamber and an atmospheric pressure chamber, a first valve seat, the anchor head is arranged between the control pressure chamber and the vacuum chamber, a second valve seat which is arranged on the housing between the atmospheric pressure chamber and the control pressure chamber, a diaphragm which separates the control pressure chamber from the atmospheric pressure chamber and which is attached to the anchor head, a valve closing member which on the first valve seat and the second valve seat is lowered and is arranged axially biased between the armature and the first valve seat and in the direction of the first valve seat.
- Such an electropneumatic pressure transducer is used to control pneumatic pressures that can be used, for example, as control pressures for pneumatic actuators for various valves in internal combustion engines.
- These pressure transducers have a double-seat valve, wherein, depending on the position of the armature, a connection of the control pressure chamber to the atmospheric pressure chamber or to the vacuum chamber is selectively established for generating a mixing pressure in the control pressure chamber.
- the position of the armature is dependent on a force acting on the armature electromagnetic force of the electromagnetic actuator and a force acting on the armature via the membrane coupled with him pneumatic force.
- the used as control pressure mixing pressure is due to the changing pressure conditions by changing opening and closing the possible connections.
- Such a pressure transducer is known for example from DE 197 55 956 AI.
- the double-seat valve of the pressure transducer described herein consists of a, by a spring force of a bellows against the valve seats loaded valve plate, which thus serves as a valve closure member.
- the usually controlled by means of pulse width modulation solenoid ensures when energized that the plunger is pulled with the first valve seat between the atmospheric pressure port and the control pressure chamber in the direction of the electromagnet, whereby the valve plate from the second valve seat between the control pressure chamber and the vacuum port lifts and the negative pressure in the Control pressure chamber can get.
- the pressure in the control pressure chamber decreases, so that the membrane is loaded in the opposite direction to the electromagnetic force.
- the resulting force from this pneumatic force and the electromagnetic force is so great that the plunger armature and thus the valve plate abuts against the second valve seat, while the first valve seat is further pushed away in the direction of the electromagnet, thereby a connection to the atmospheric pressure connection is made.
- a mixed pressure arises in the control pressure chamber, which is dependent on the magnitude of the effective current in the electromagnetic circuit.
- the membrane is mounted in this embodiment in a groove of the anchor head. In this assembly, no complete tightness between the anchor head and the membrane is achieved, whereby the air consumption increases.
- the membrane is injection-molded onto the anchor head, there is a tight connection between these components, which is inexpensive to produce and has a long shelf life. It eliminates an additional assembly step.
- this connection is made between the anchor head and the membrane by two-component injection molding.
- the anchor head produced in a first form is inserted into a second mold, in which the membrane is injected onto the anchor head.
- the anchor head has a circumferential radial groove, in which a radially inner edge of the membrane is arranged.
- the membrane has in the region of the groove on a wider sealing surface in the form of a bead, while the rest of the membrane can be made thin.
- the housing has an actuator housing and connection housing, between which a radially outer edge of the membrane is clamped.
- the connection between the actuator housing and the connection housing is produced, for example, by laser welding.
- the second valve seat, a negative pressure connection leading to the vacuum chamber and a control pressure connection leading to the control pressure chamber are formed on the connection housing.
- connection housing is formed in one piece with the vacuum connection, the constriction and the second valve seat.
- a connection housing is inexpensive to produce by injection molding, since demolding without the use of cores is possible. This reduces manufacturing and assembly costs.
- electro-pneumatic pressure transducer is thus inexpensive to produce and can be mounted in a few steps.
- the valve cover can be manufactured in one manufacturing step.
- the anchor head can be mounted with the membrane as an integral part. At the same time a high tightness between the anchor head and the membrane is achieved, which minimizes leakage and thus reduces air consumption.
- Figure 1 shows a side view of an electropneumatic pressure transducer according to the invention in a sectional view.
- Figure 2 shows the anchor head with the membrane of the electropneumatic pressure transducer according to the invention of Figure 1 in a sectional view.
- the electro-pneumatic pressure transducer shown in Fig. 1 consists of a housing 10 in which an electromagnetic actuator 12 is arranged, consisting of a wound on a coil holder 14 coil 16, a two-part core 18, with a first outer core piece 20 and a second coaxial with first core piece 20 inside second core piece 22 and a return plate 26 and a yoke 24 consists.
- the electromagnetic circuit of the actuator 12 is closed by an armature 28 which is pulled in a known manner when energizing the coil 16 by the resulting electromagnetic force in the direction of the core 18.
- a connector 30 is formed to the power supply, via which the electrical contact is made to the coil 16.
- the armature 28 is mounted in a plain bearing bush 32 which is arranged in the interior of the bobbin 14 relays in a axially extending inside the bobbin 14 portion of the return plate 26.
- the radially outer core piece 20 is threaded into the spool holder 14 and has an inner through hole 34 with an internal thread into which an external thread of the inner core piece 22 is rotated.
- the inner core piece extends in the direction of an inner blind hole 36 formed on the armature 28, into which the inner core piece 22 is immersed when the coil 16 is energized.
- the outer core piece 20 has an extending in the direction of the armature 28 annular projection 38 which tapers to a point and in the interior of the armature 28 is immersed in energizing the coil 16.
- These threads on the core pieces 20, 22 serve to adjust the air gap between the armature 28 and the core 18 and thus to adjust the magnetic characteristic, whereby the magnetic force acting on the armature 28 can be adjusted.
- a rotation of the first outer core piece 20 causes a relatively high change of the resulting force, while the screwing of the second core piece 22 of the fine adjustment is used.
- the axial end of the housing 10, in which the core 18 is arranged made open. After setting the desired gap, the housing 10 is closed at this axial end via a cover 40.
- the housing 10 is designed in two parts and has an actuator housing 42, which surrounds the actuator 12, and a connection housing 44. At the end facing the connection housing 44, the actuator housing 42 has a radial atmospheric pressure connection 46, which opens into an atmospheric pressure space 48.
- the connection housing 44 has a vacuum connection 50 which extends in the direction of the central axis of the actuator 12 and a radially extending Control pressure port 52 which opens into a control pressure chamber 54 which is fluidly separated from the atmospheric pressure chamber 48 by a diaphragm 56, the outer radial edge 58 is formed bead-shaped and clamped circumferentially between the actuator housing 42 and the terminal housing 44.
- a circumferential axial groove 60 is formed on the actuator housing 42 facing the end of the connection housing 44, in which a correspondingly shaped projection 62 of the actuator housing 42 projects. Radially within this projection 62, the outer edge 58 of the diaphragm 56 is clamped axially between the connection housing 44 and the actuator housing 42 under elastic deformation and then the actuator housing 44 is secured to the connection housing 42 by means of laser welding. Accordingly, the membrane 56 acts as a seal both on the outside and prevents leakage in the radially outer region between the control pressure chamber 54 and the atmospheric pressure chamber 48th
- a radially inner edge 64 of the membrane 56 is disposed in a radial groove 66 of an anchor head 68 made of a hard plastic.
- This anchor head 68 is fixedly connected to the armature 28 of the electromagnetic actuator 12.
- an axially extending very small bypass bore 84 is formed on the anchor head 68, via which to reduce the hysteresis in the Turning points of the armature 28 of the control pressure chamber 54 is fluidly connected to the atmospheric pressure chamber 48.
- a second valve seat 86 is formed in the interior of the first valve seat 82, which is moved by the armature 28, as an extension of the vacuum connection 50, via which a vacuum chamber 88, supplied with negative pressure from a vacuum source via the vacuum connection 50, from the control pressure chamber 54 when resting the valve plate 78 on the second valve seat 86 can be shut off.
- the vacuum chamber 88 is tubular, extends axially from the vacuum port to the second valve seat and has before the second valve seat a constriction 90 of its flow cross-section in the form of an inner shoulder.
- this tubular portion is tapered on the outside in the direction of the second valve seat, whereby despite the usual large connection cross sections for the hoses, the second valve seat 86 can be formed with a small cross section, whereby the surrounding cross section of the first valve seat 82 and thus the entire electropneumatic converter can be made smaller.
- the anchor head 68 is made of a hard plastic and is produced by injection molding.
- the anchor head 68 is then placed in another shape in which the membrane 56 is molded from soft plastic. It is a two-component injection molding process.
- This has the advantage that there is a firm connection between the anchor head 68 and the diaphragm 56, which has a high density, whereby a leakage flow between the control pressure chamber 54 and the atmospheric pressure chamber 48 is avoided.
- This tightness and also strength of the connection is also reinforced by the design of the anchor head 68 with the radial groove 66, by which the load on the connection surface is reduced.
- the connection housing 44 is an injection molded part made of plastic. It is made in one piece without needing to use cores.
- the electropneumatic pressure transducer now works in such a way that a mixing pressure is generated in the control pressure chamber 54, which is composed of the negative pressure from the vacuum chamber 88 and the atmospheric pressure from the atmospheric pressure chamber 48.
- the inflow of this negative pressure or atmospheric pressure into the control pressure chamber 54 is regulated via the two valve seats 82, 86 as a function of the position of the armature 28.
- the respective connection of the control pressure chamber 54 is dependent on the position of the valve plate 78 and thus of the position of the armature 28. Accordingly, a movement of the valve plate 78 is initiated only by an activation of the electromagnet, ie by supplying the coil 16 with power. In the illustrated starting position, the valve plate 78 rests on the second valve seat 86 and there is a connection between the atmospheric pressure chamber 48 and the control pressure chamber 54. By activation of the electromagnet, the armature 28 is pulled towards the core 18, whereby the valve plate 78 from the second Valve seat 86 lifts off and lowered to the first valve seat 82 on the anchor head 68, so that negative pressure in the control pressure chamber 54 can flow.
- the actuator 12 is supplied with a clocked DC voltage in the form of a pulse width modulated signal. It will be apparent that at each duty cycle of the pulse width modulated signal, another effective current is generated resulting in a magnetic force. For each magnetic force generated in this way, in turn, the electropneumatic pressure transducer regulates to a new mixing pressure in the control pressure chamber 54 and thus a new equilibrium state.
- an electropneumatic converter which, in comparison to known embodiments, has no leaks between the atmospheric pressure chamber and the control pressure chamber, as a result of which air consumption decreases.
- the assembly of the connection housing and the membrane with the armature is to be carried out in an assembly step. Previous installation steps omitted.
- the preparation of both the terminal housing and the membrane with the anchor head is inexpensive to carry out. Also, a long shelf life is achieved.
