  • the present invention relates to a compressor for generating compressed air for a commercial vehicle and a method for relieving a compressor, the compressor having a housing with a piston chamber and a clearance, and a valve device for separating the clearance from the piston area.
  • Auxiliary units of commercial vehicles such as rail vehicles, trucks or buses are often operated with compressed air, which is usually supplied by a compressed air system operated in the vehicle.
  • Compressed air systems of this type work with compressors, which are usually driven directly by the drive unit of the vehicle, such as an internal combustion engine.
  • the compressor is often driven as long as the drive unit of the commercial vehicle is in operation.
  • the compressor can usually be relieved by means of an energy saving device in order to reduce the energy consumption of the compressed air system.
  • Such devices are often activated by means of a pneumatic pressure signal from an air treatment unit arranged downstream. What such devices have in common is that, in the activated state, they permanently open the compression chamber of the compressor to a harmful chamber in the cylinder head, which is specially designed for this purpose, and / or to the air inlet in order to increase the thermodynamic work which is carried out during a crank revolution to reduce.

Compression of the air is largely avoided by the volume of the piston chamber which is increased in this way, as a result of which the thermodynamic work of the compressor is greatly reduced. This relieves the load on the compressor and reduces the power output.
  • the valve element according to the invention has an actuating section which is formed in one piece with it and which has an active device which can be acted upon by energy for causing the valve element to move along its longitudinal axis.
  • the valve element can thus be moved axially in the direction of the piston chamber by means of the active device of the actuating section.

  • the described design of the compressor, in particular the valve element, the valve plate and the holding plate enables a one-piece design of the valve element without requiring an assembly opening in the cylinder head for the assembly of components of a multi-part valve element, in particular after the cylinder head has been put on, thereby closing and sealing one such an opening after installation of the valve element is omitted. Likewise, the risk of leakage of the seal is eliminated in the proposed design.

  • the valve element is movably mounted in a valve chamber in the cylinder head along the axis of the valve element, the valve chamber being delimited by the cylinder head on the side facing away from the piston chamber. Since the valve element reaches the valve chamber from the side facing the piston chamber when the cylinder head is installed, an installation opening in the cylinder head of the compressor, in particular on the side facing away from the piston chamber, can be dispensed with. The time-consuming closing of the assembly opening is thus eliminated, as is the associated risk of leakage.

  • the actuating section of the valve element has the shape of a pneumatic piston which is in particular designed to seal against the valve chamber in the cylinder head, and correspondingly moves axially towards the piston chamber when compressed air is applied to the valve chamber due to the pneumatic energy.

This relieves the load on the compressor and reduces its energy consumption. Because the valve element is formed in one piece with the actuating element, it is not necessary to mount an especially additional actuating element through an opening of the cylinder head on the valve element.

  • an assembly tool 40 can be placed on the assembly cap 25, by means of which the spring is pushed onto the assembly cap 25 by axial pressure.
  • the diameter of the turns of the spring 27, which is originally smaller than the outer diameter of the shoulder 21a, is expanded when the spring is pushed onto the mounting cap 25.
  • Fig. 4b the end of the assembly situation is shown, in which the spring 27 has already been pushed with the aid of the assembly tool 40 over the assembly cap 25 and the shoulder 21a of the valve element 21.
  • Fig. 4c the upper turns of the spring 27 return to their original smaller diameter after crossing the mounting cap 25 and can thus be supported on the shoulder 21a on the valve element 21.
  • the lower turns of the spring 27 are supported on the holding plate 13, so that an axial force F acts on the valve element 21 due to a longitudinal compression of the spring between the shoulder 21a and the holding plate 13. In this way, the shoulder 21a is acted on away from the holding plate 13 and the shut-off body 22 is held on the valve seat 24.
  • Fig. 4d shows a representation of the exemplary spring 27 according to the invention from the Figures 4a to 4c , It can be clearly seen that the spring is conical. The upper turns, which are supported after assembly on the shoulder 21a, consequently have a smaller diameter than the lower turns, which are supported on the holding plate 13 after assembly. Since the recess 13b at the edge of the holding plate opening 13a is only open in an area which is necessary for the lateral insertion of the valve element 21 ( Figs. 2a, 2b ), the spring 27 can be supported in the exemplary embodiment on a sufficiently large area of the holding plate 13.
  • Fig. 5 shows a further exemplary valve device 20 according to the invention with a cylindrical spring 28 and a locking washer 29, which on Valve element 21 is attached.
  • the valve device 20 shown differs from the valve device 20, which is shown in the previous figures, essentially in that a groove 29a is formed on the valve element 21 instead of the shoulder 21a for receiving a locking washer.
  • a cylindrical spring 29 the inner diameter of which is larger than the outer diameter of the actuating section 23 of the valve element 21, is guided over the valve element 21 and by means of the in the groove 29a inserted locking washer 29 supported on the valve element 21.
  • Fig. 6 shows a further exemplary valve device 20 according to the invention, which can be actuated by means of electromagnetic energy.
  • the valve element 21 has an actuating section 23 with a magnetically conductive active device, which is mounted in the region of an electromagnet 35 arranged on the cylinder head 24 and can be moved in the direction of the axis A of the valve element 21 by exposure to electromagnetic energy.
  • the valve device 20 is opened by acting on the actuating section 23 of the valve element 21 and, in the absence of electromagnetic energy, is closed by the restoring force of the spring 27.
  • the valve element 21 out Fig. 6 In addition to the actuating section 23, it has a bearing section 21b, by means of which the valve element 21 is mounted in the valve head 17 in the cylinder head 14.
  • FIG. 7 shows a sectional view through a further exemplary compressor 10 according to the invention Fig. 7
  • the compressor 10 shown differs from the compressor 10 shown in FIG Fig. 1 is shown in that the valve plate 12 is flat, so that the harmful space 18 does not extend into the valve plate 12.
  • This embodiment of the compressor 10 has a so-called supercooling plate as an intermediate plate, which also serves as a holding plate 13.
  • the harmful space 18 is formed in the holding plate 13 and in the cylinder head 14.
  • the shape of holding plate opening 13a with holding plate recess 13b corresponds to that in FIG Fig. 7 Embodiment shown essentially from the shape of the holding plate opening 13a with holding plate recess 13b Fig. 2a ,
  • the cylinder head 14 is then mounted on the compressor, the actuating section 23 of the valve element 21 being guided into an actuating element 32.
  • the actuating element 32 is mounted in the valve chamber 17 of the cylinder head 12 and is designed such that the actuating section 23 of the valve element can be accommodated and stored in the center thereof.
  • the actuating element 32 can lie loosely on the actuating section 23 (as in FIG Fig. 8 ) and transmit mechanical energy to the valve element 21 by a positive connection with the valve end or the shoulder 21a on the valve element 21 as an active device. It is also possible for the valve element to be screwed into a thread formed in the actuating element 31, a corresponding external thread then being provided on the actuating section 23 of the valve element 21 as an active device.
  • the actuating element 32 By actuating the valve chamber 17 with compressed air, the actuating element 32 is accelerated in the direction of the piston chamber 16, as a result of which mechanical energy is applied to the actuating section 23 of the valve element 21. In this way, the valve element 21 is actuated and lifted off the valve seat 24 as a result of the shut-off body 22. In the embodiment shown, the actuating force can be increased due to the enlarged surface of the actuating element 32.
  • valve head 14 is mounted on the valve element or on the holding plate 13 or the valve plate 12 after the assembly of the spring 27, 28.
  • the valve element 21 is guided along its axis A with the actuating section 23 and optionally with a bearing section 21b into the valve chamber 17 formed in the cylinder head 14. Since the valve device 20 is already installed before the cylinder head 14 is put in place, there is no need for an installation opening on the cylinder head 14 via which the valve device 20 is accessible from the outside.
  • the valve chamber 17 can therefore be designed on the side facing away from the piston chamber 16, that is to say the outside of the cylinder head 14, bounded by the cylinder head.
