Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electromagnetic actuator according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • Such a device is for example as an electromagnetic valve device of the DE 198 48 919 A1 known.
  • a (stationary) coil unit moves a radially symmetrically guided inside the coil armature unit and opens or closes a valve seat for the fluid to be controlled.
  • the armature unit (having a cylindrical armature body) moves relative to a stationary core unit, which is part of the magnetic circuit and influences the movement behavior, in particular a magnetic armature force of the armature unit, by its design.
  • the device for influencing the movement behavior or force curve of the armature movement referred to in the prior art in the transition region between the (movable) armature unit and the (stationary) core unit has a so-called control cone area (control area) which extends along the axial direction in a region of the armature Ankerhubes (namely the area immediately after the release of the armature unit of the core unit) affects the magnetic flux in the magnetic circuit between the armature unit, core unit and the other magnetic circuit elements involved.
  • control area control cone area
  • control cone area By suitable design of this control area (control cone area), such as a specification of an effective axial overlap, so can the movement behavior of the armature unit, in particular a course of the magnetic force along the movement stroke (Bewegungshubwegs) specifically influence, strengthen or weaken comparatively or pointwise.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to improve a generic electromagnetic actuator with respect to their operating and wear behavior, in particular to reduce adverse transverse or normal forces that promote tilting of the armature unit, and so in the context of an axially overlapping control area systems to combine favorable magnetic movement behavior and energy optimization with protection against undesired wear due to adverse friction.
  • control area (control cone area) between the armature unit and the core unit is set up by configuring the (magnetic) flow-effective cross sections of the first or second profile section such that in the usual operating current for the coil unit causing the armature unit to move Flow and force compensation in the nature of a regulatory effect is achieved.
  • the profile sections are configured such that in the case of a tilting or a deflection in a first region of the associated (radial) air gap, the increased transverse force (normal force) is compensated for by the fact that, for an associated magnetic flux (corresponding to the shortened air gap). Flooding) a magnetic resistance in this area increases.
  • the profile sections are designed with respect to their flow-effective material cross-section so that it comes in a corresponding tilted state of the armature unit in the (radial) narrow region of the air gap through the resulting increased saturation saturation, thus creating a flux-effective magnetic resistance, which then This leads to the fact that the magnetic flux is displaced or displaced into other areas of the air gap (back). This then has a directly the adverse normal or lateral force reducing effect, with the advantageous result of lower friction, correspondingly lower energy consumption and reduced wear.
  • the principle according to the invention results in the usual, movement-typical operating currents for the coil unit, an effective displacement of the lateral force-promoting magnetic flux from the region of the shortest air gap is carried out in other areas, since the magnetic saturation effect - corresponding compensatory - offers a higher magnetic resistance.
  • the inventive principle can be realized by suitable design of the profile sections, which then, adapted to be expected in typical operating conditions flooding, are designed so that these targeted at radially minimized air gap experience magnetic flux-resistance increase by magnetic saturation.
  • first or second profile section a tooth or cam shape with suitably conical angles of inclination, which in the case of the advantageous radially symmetrical design arise correspondingly as an annular projection (or cooperate with a correspondingly adapted annular groove).
  • first or second profile section a tooth or cam shape with suitably conical angles of inclination, which in the case of the advantageous radially symmetrical design arise correspondingly as an annular projection (or cooperate with a correspondingly adapted annular groove).
  • about flat cone angle inherently have the advantage of lower transverse forces, but at the same time so that an effective axial coverage area is smaller.
  • an embodiment has been found to be a so-called inner cone.
  • a narrow conical ring (as the second profile section) of the core unit which tends to saturate magnetically due to its flux-effective cross-sectional configuration, dips into an inner annular shoulder (cone shoulder) at the front end of the armature unit. Due to the narrow cone-shaped annular shoulder, the associated armature section reacts sensitively to changes in the magnetic flux and, in accordance with the above-described mechanism of action, generates compensating (righting) magnetic forces which counteract the disadvantageous armature skew.
  • the present invention is suitable in a favorable manner as for the realization of valve devices, more preferably pneumatic valve devices, but is not limited to this field of application. Rather, the advantage of the present invention can be used favorably in all forms of implementation of electromagnetic actuators, in which - caused by design or play - tilting or deflecting the armature unit in an armature guide causes adverse friction or wear and used anyway to influence the magnetic force curve Profile elements in the control area (control cone area) can be dimensioned and used for realizing the invention advantageous compensation behavior.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates the application context of the present invention; shown is a structurally otherwise known 2/2-way valve, which finds use in the automotive sector and is provided in cooperation between the anchor unit and cone unit with a cone control.
  • a housing 10 which carries a held on a bobbin 12 stationary winding 14.
  • an armature guide tube 16 receiving arrangement is along an axis of movement 18, an armature unit 20th guided, which has a cylindrical outer contour, against the force of a compression spring 22 is supported by a stationary core portion 24 in the axial direction and, opposite the core portion 24, a valve rubber insert 26, which for closing a valve seat 28, in response to an axial Movement of the armature unit 20, is formed.
  • the valve effect arises between a supply connection 30 and a working connection 32.
  • the anchor unit 20 is provided on the shell side in an otherwise known manner by means of a PTFE or MoS 2 sliding coating; a sliding foil for the storage of the anchor unit does not exist.
  • the armature unit 20 moves along the longitudinal axis of movement 18 in the vertical direction (Z in Fig. 3 ).
  • the orthogonal to this axis directions X, Y are drawn accordingly.
  • a control range (control cone area) in the magnetic transition between the core unit 24 and the partially hollow cylindrical armature unit 20 is in the enlarged, half-longitudinal view of the Fig. 1 illustrates, wherein, in the immediate comparison, the embodiment of Fig. 4 shows a not optimized in the context of the invention and advantageous control range.
  • the core portion has an annular protrusion 34 extending from the engagement-side end surface of the core unit 24, which is provided inwardly toward the axis 18 relative to an inner annular shoulder 36 of the associated engagement-side end portion of the armature unit 20.
  • both the outward flank of the annular projection 34 and the inward flank of the annular groove 36, relative to the longitudinal axis 18, are a cone angle of approximately eight.
  • FIG ° inclined (where in Angle between 3 ° and 40 °, preferably between 5 ° and 20 °, more preferably between 7 ° and 15 °, as favorable and have been preferred).
  • these cone angles are configured identically, so that in the case of a central position of the armature unit (ie untilted, in contrast to the illustration of FIG Fig. 2 ) the flank angles match.
  • the integrally abutting, ring-shaped and conical projection 34 is now configured such that at a typical operating current through the coil unit 12, 14 (or a flux occurring in the transition region to the armature unit, in particular in the vertical air gap 40), then saturation occurs when this air gap (40 'in Fig. 2 ) in the left-hand area becomes very narrow, thereby increasing the magnetic flux in this area and the associated portion of the projection 34, which then, due to the comparatively narrow ring diameter, here the saturation takes priority.
  • this advantageously leads to a magnetic flux being increased over the local air gap area 40 "in the (radially) opposite, right-hand region, due to which saturation in the left-hand region of the annular projection 34 displaces or displaces magnetic flux outside this region.
  • Fig. 4 how effectively the adverse lateral force can be reduced;
  • Table 1 are derived from a three-dimensional simulation with anchor slanting using the positions A to H in Fig. 2 , It can be seen that a reduction of the armature transverse force of approx. 30% or an upright magnetic force (positive sign) can be achieved (with armature inclination in the direction of the X axis), both with a short and relatively long armature stroke (FIG. 0.15 mm or 0.8 mm), in direct comparison of the cone designs of Fig. 1 relative to the comparative example of Fig. 4 ,
  • the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiment shown, but there are numerous ways and possibilities, in the context of the present invention, the control area by appropriate profiling of form the cone-side and the armature-side end portion. It can be about the contour of the Fig. 2 (Ring projection on the core side is radially inward) are reversed, as well as a correspondingly optimized for fast magnetic saturation profiling on the armature side (or both sides) may be present.
  • an end-coat side, outer circumferential annular shoulder 50 has been found to be advantageous, as this could additionally reduce adverse friction on the surrounding anchor guide.
