Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electromagnetic actuating device according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • the present invention further relates to the use of such an electromagnetic actuating device.
  • Electromagnetic actuating devices in which an armature unit which is designed in the manner of a plunger and can be driven in response to an energization of stationary coil means, can be moved out of an actuator housing along an axial direction, are generally known from the prior art and are used for a wide variety of actuating tasks, in particular also in a motor vehicle context ,
  • camshaft adjustment usually requires more than one actuator unit;
  • the armature tappet which engages in a switching groove (groove track) of a camshaft for adjustment purposes, as a rule requires at least one second, usually adjacent tappet, in order to be able to bring about a second and opposite movement of the camshaft in addition to the first.
  • This technology is generally known as such and is used as standard in motor vehicles.
  • anchor tappets it is known on the one hand to provide these tappets in a common housing (as respective anchor tappets) adjacent to one another and to operate them appropriately.
  • each of these actuator units also has to be separately electrically connected and wired, so that the construction and assembly effort is increased here as well.
  • the prior art of the generic type is that which discloses an electromagnetic actuating device DE 10 2012 018095 A1 , wherein a plurality of actuator units is mechanically connected to one another by a flexible film hinge.
  • Other electromagnetic actuators are off DE 20 2008 008 142 U1 and DE 201 14 466 U1 known.
  • the majority of the actuator units are mechanically connected to a bracket-like and / or bridge-like connecting unit made of polymeric material, so that the respective actuator housings of the actuator units are effective and corresponding to a predetermined bending property or Elasticity of the connecting unit are movable against each other.
  • the connecting unit made of the polymeric material which can be more preferably and advantageously, for example, a glass fiber reinforced plastic, such as polyamide-GRP), the effect a tolerance compensation means achieved within the scope of the invention.
  • bracket-type or bridge-type connection unit which can also preferably be provided with a predetermined articulation angle, to the respectively assigned polymer actuator housings by means of an automated production process, this advantageously being achieved both by welding, Gluing or other joining techniques can take place, in addition or alternatively also by overmolding (for example by inserting such a bracket body into an injection mold when manufacturing the advantageous and further developing itself from injectable Actuator housing made of polymer material); in addition or alternatively, a one-piece connection can also be made together with one or more of the actuator housings by way of production.
  • the actuating device has only one connection and plug unit for controlling or energizing the plurality of the coil means associated with the respective actuator units.
  • the connection and cabling effort is advantageously reduced
  • the bracket-like or bridge-like connecting section can be used in a further development and advantageously in the context of the invention in order to lead supply cables thereon or therein (for example also advantageously protected by embedding), so that later, when assembling the electromagnetic actuating device according to the invention, only a single plug contact to the common connection or plug unit is required.
  • This can also advantageously and according to the invention sit on the connection unit (connection section) itself and e.g. can be produced with this in a technical injection molding process.
  • connection unit for connecting the at least two actuator units according to the invention can in principle be arbitrary, it has nevertheless turned out to be advantageous to attach this connection unit to a lateral or jacket section of the actuator housing, respectively, using the advantageous (and easily automatable) manufacturing methods described above , Depending on the material used and the geometric and elasticity conditions, it has turned out to be preferred to choose an axial extension of such a bow-shaped or arch-like section, based on an equally axial extension of the associated housing, to not more than 40%, prefers this extension can also be less, up to less than 20%.
  • a further particularly preferred development of the invention with regard to practical handling properties when the device according to the invention is installed at the place of use provides that a pair of mutually adjacent actuator units are each assigned end, front, handle, handling or flange sections. These preferably protrude radially in sections, so that handling or actuation is also possible with one hand by an assembly and operating person.
  • these sections which are preferably planar at the end, form a defined upper edge (or surface) of the device, and a longitudinal edge of the opposing actuator housings, which further advantageously extends transversely to the axial direction, enables a gap-like spacing design which both visually reflects a specific spacing dimension during (tolerance-laden) installation , and also limited an adjustment stroke of the individual actuators to one another.
  • the present invention is outstandingly suitable for the installation conditions on a motor vehicle internal combustion engine which are subject to tolerances, but the present invention is not restricted to this use according to the invention. Rather, the invention is fundamentally applicable to all actuator structures in which a compact, automatable, yet flexible arrangement with a plurality of actuator units can be installed with regard to installation tolerances.
  • FIGS. 1 to 5 show different views of the electromagnetic actuator of the first and preferred embodiment.
  • a pair of actuator units 10, 12 is connected by a bridge 14 as a tolerance compensation means (realized here from glass fiber reinforced polyamide, as is the material of the actuator housings 11, 13 of the individual actuators 10, 12), so that correspondingly tolerant installation and engagement dimensions for end sections 16 of (anchor plungers, not shown, which are guided in the respective housings 11, 13) a fit or a precisely fitting access to opposite actuating partners is made possible.
  • actuating grooves are assigned to this actuating partner to enable internal combustion engine camshaft adjustment.
  • the individual actuators 10, 12 are approximately as electromagnetic actuating devices in the DE 201 14 466 U1 described type, this implementation with armature-side permanent magnets, which then interact with stationary coil means in the housings 11 and 13, is only exemplary and other implementation forms of electromagnetic actuating devices can be provided, which in the manner shown an engagement end 16 of an armature plunger in the about in the Figures 1 to 3 shown type drive out from the end of stationary guides 18 of the respective actuators 10, 12 in a controlled manner.
  • lateral mounting flanges 20, 22 can be seen in the respective representations, for a correspondingly two-sided mounting, the provision of the bridge 14 according to the invention (connecting unit or connecting section) in principle allowing attachment to the overall arrangement shown on only one of these flanges.
  • FIG. 4 illustrate how this connection can be used to energize the stationary coils contained in the housings 11, 13, also separately from one another, and thus to drive the respective armature plungers.
  • FIGS. 1, 4 further illustrate how, axially opposite an outlet end of the armature tappet engagement areas 16, the arrangement on the end face of each of the housings 11, 13 has flat end sections 26, 28 which, in alignment, have an end face or, in the side view of FIG 2, 3 , enable a defined end edge of the device.
  • the side view in particular the Fig. 3 illustrates a dimensional ratio of the bridge (connecting unit 14) to an extension of the polymeric part of the housing (here 13): according to the desired stiffness and elasticity properties of the (according to Fig. 5
