Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a valve apparatus for controlling fluid flow through a duct or opening.
  • the valve apparatus may be used in a variety of fields, for example in an air conditioning system of a vehicle, in particular a railway vehicle like a train.
  • weight reduction and/or short valve closing time is crucial when working out the vehicle design.
  • the weight reduction requirement is in particular relevant when it comes to saving propulsion energy.
  • the short valve closing time is particular relevant for pressure wave protection in high speed trains.
  • pneumatic actuators In air conditioning systems, known and common drive systems for fresh air damper bodies utilize pneumatic actuators, torque motors or geared drives to move the damper bodies.
  • the pneumatic actuators require additional air supply infrastructure and the torque motors or geared drives are technically rather complex and heavy in weight.
  • the additional air supply infrastructure for pneumatic actuators and the complexity of the known torque motors or geared drives further results in an increased likelihood of malfunctions.
  • JP S49 92048 U teaches a valve apparatus having a damper body with a circular shape.
  • the damper body interacts with a valve seat hole also having a circular shape.
  • the circumferential sealing line between the damper edge and the hole edge is thus formed by a circle.
  • DE 23 15 626 A1 teaches a valve apparatus having the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • a star-shaped damper body has damper protrusions extending therefrom in radial directions. Accordingly, a limited number of radially extending damper protrusions may be provided resulting in a limited increase of the length of the circumferential sealing line.
  • Another valve comprising radially extending protrusions to obtain an increased length of the circumferential sealing line is disclosed in DE 101 62 604 B4 .
  • DE 44 38 250 A1 also teaches a vale apparatus having a circular damper body interacting with a circular valve seat hole so that the circumferential sealing line between the damper edge and the hole edge is formed by a circle.
  • the present invention proposes a valve apparatus for controlling fluid flow especially through a duct or opening that may be used in a variety of fields, for example in an air conditioning system of a vehicle, in particular a railway vehicle like a train.
  • the valve apparatus comprises a valve seat body having a valve seat hole being configured to allow the fluid, especially air, to flow through it and a damper body for closing the valve seat hole thereby stopping the fluid from flowing through it.
  • the valve seat body and the damper body are movable relative to each other between an open configuration and a closed configuration. In the open configuration, the fluid may flow through the valve seat hole, and in the closed configuration, the damper body interacts with the valve seat body in a sealing manner such that the fluid may not flow through the valve seat hole.
  • the valve seat hole has a hole contour formed by a hole edge
  • the damper body has a damper contour formed by a damper edge.
  • the hole edge and the damper edge are configured to interact with each other in the sealing manner, thereby forming a circumferential sealing line having a circumferential sealing length.
  • the hole contour has a plurality of hole protuberances and the damper contour has a plurality of damper protrusions.
  • the hole protuberances and the damper protrusions correspond to each other in order to ensure effective sealing along the circumferential sealing line in the closed configuration.
  • the hole protuberances and the damper protrusions have the effect that the circumferential sealing length is larger than a reference length being defined by a length of a circumference of an equal area circle having a circle area that equals to the area of the valve seat hole.
  • the damper body in the valve apparatus according to the invention may be driven by any kind of driving unit that has the drawback of providing a limited lift only.
  • the damper body may in particular be driven by a solenoid actuator as long as a lift-depending and rather small actuator force is acceptable and the focus is on overcoming the drawback of limited lift.
  • a solenoid actuator which is well known as such, for actuating a valve apparatus according to the present invention provides at the same time both a lightweight and simple design.
  • a solenoid actuator has an electromagnet and an actuator rod that is driven by the electromagnet in known manner.
  • the lift of the actuator rod that may be obtained from a solenoid actuator is limited.
  • the actuator force of a solenoid actuator significantly depends on the actual lift of the actuator rod.
  • the present invention provides a solution for using a solenoid actuator in a valve apparatus even in view of the aforementioned properties of a solenoid actuator with regard to the available extent of lift and the available actuator force.
  • the aerodynamic gap i.e. the flow cross-section, between the hole edge and the damper edge in the open configuration is approximately the length of the circumferential sealing line, i.e. the circumferential sealing length, times the lift of the actuator rod of the solenoid actuator.
  • the circumferential sealing length in the sense of the present invention in comparison to the length of the circumference of the equal area circle, the size of the aerodynamic gap is significantly enlarged while the lift of the actuator rod remains the same.
  • the solenoid actuator provides limited lift as such, the present invention ensures that, when using the same size of cross-sectional area of the duct for piping the fluid, a size of the aerodynamic gap may be reached that is comparable to the sizes of aerodynamic gaps that can be achieved in the prior art by torque motors or geared drives allowing non-limited lift in combination with commonly shaped valve seat holes and damper bodies.
  • the disadvantageous property of a limited lift of a solenoid actuator is thus overcome by the enlarged circumferential sealing length according to the present invention.
  • the equal area circle is an imaginary circle. Its circle area has the same size as the area of the valve seat hole having the hole protuberances. Accordingly, based on the same sizes but different shapes of area, the circumferential sealing length is put into relation to the circular circumference of the imaginary equal area circle.
  • the damper body may be biased relative to the valve seat body towards the open configuration or towards the closed configuration.
  • the damper body may urge the damper body towards the open configuration by the bias and let the actuator force of the solenoid actuator act against the bias when moving the damper body towards the closed configuration.
  • the bias may urge the damper body to its closed configuration and the actuator force of the solenoid actuator may act against the bias when moving the damper body towards the open configuration.
  • the actuator force of the solenoid actuator is transmitted through the actuator rod.
  • the solenoid actuator is mounted for moving the damper body relative to the valve seat body towards the closed or open configuration.
  • the solenoid actuator may apply actuator force in bidirectional manner without necessity of any bias towards one of the open and closed configurations. However, if for some reason bias towards one of the open and closed configurations is preferred the actuator force always acts against the bias.
  • Force transmission means may be arranged between the actuator rod and the damper body for acting there between.
  • the force transmission means are configured to apply a closing force to the damper body that is larger than the actuator force.
  • the ratio between the closing force and the actuator force is preferably at least 5, more preferably at least 20 and most preferably at least 50.
  • the force transmission means have the advantageous effect that a closing force considerably larger than the lift-depending actuator force may be applied to the damper body in its closed position.
  • the solenoid actuator may advantageously be operated in a hold mode with relatively small electric load thereby preventing the solenoid actuator from damage.
  • the ratio of the circumferential sealing length to the reference length is preferably at least 1,5, more preferably at least 2,0 and most preferably at least 2,5.
  • all of the hole protuberances and all of the damper protrusions may have the same shape and size.
  • the hole protuberances and the damper protrusions preferably have a finger-like shape.
  • Finger-like shape in the sense of the present invention means that the respective hole protuberance or damper protrusion is longer than wide.
  • the valve seat hole has a central region, and the hole protuberances extend from opposite sides of the central region.
  • the damper body has a central portion, and the damper protrusions extend from opposite sides of the central portion.
  • the hole protuberances on each of the opposite sides of the central region extend with their geometrical axes directed away from the central region parallel to each other.
  • the damper protrusions on each of the opposite sides of the central portion extend with their geometrical axes directed away from the central portion parallel to each other.
  • Each hole protuberance on one of the opposite sides of the central region may be aligned with one hole protuberance on the other of the opposite sides of the central region.
  • each damper protrusion on one of the opposite sides of the central portion may be aligned with one damper protrusion on the other of the opposite sides of the central portion.
  • the valve apparatus according to the invention may be used when the limited lift of known solenoid actuators is acceptable and only an increased closing force acting on the damper body is important.
  • the force transmission means in the sense of the present invention may be any kind of means that applies a closing force to the damper body that is larger than the actuator force.
  • gear transmission means including oval gears may be used as the force transmission means.
  • the force transmission means are formed by a knee-lever mechanism comprising at least first and second levers being rotatably connected with each other by a knee joint.
  • the actuator rod of the solenoid actuator may be rotatably connected with the first lever by a rod joint.
  • the first and second levers may be moved to a flexed relative position corresponding to the open configuration.
  • the first and second levers may be further moved to a stretched relative position corresponding to the closed configuration of the valve apparatus.
  • At least one of the first and second levers may have stop means at least for stopping further rotational movement beyond the stretched relative position of the first and second levers.
  • movement of the first and second levers are stopped at least slightly before they reach a fully stretched relative position in which they are exactly aligned.
  • suitable initiating means for initiating controlled flexing movement out of the fully stretched relative position towards the flexed relative position are provided.
  • suitable initiating means may for example be springs that need to develop just a small force for initiating the flexing movement.
  • the solenoid actuator may be pivotably mounted on a fixed supporting beam.
  • the supporting beam itself may be fixed to the valve seat body by mounting bars.
  • the damper body may be fixed to a movably guided traverse.
  • the traverse may be movably guided by the mounting bars for mounting the supporting beam.
  • the mounting bars serve a double function, namely fixing the supporting beam to the valve seat body on the one hand and movably guiding the traverse carrying the damper body on the other hand. Weight reduction is thereby achieved because no separate guiding means for guiding the traverse are necessary beyond the mounting bars.
  • Springs may be fitted to the mounting bars for urging the traverse towards the supporting beam or for urging the traverse towards the valve seat body, thereby effecting bias towards the open or the closed configuration.
  • the springs may be pressure springs acting between the valve seat body and the traverse or tension springs acting between the supporting beam and the traverse when bias towards the open configuration is intended.

When running into a tunnel with a high speed train well known pressure surge or compression wave occurs and migrates through the interior of the train. When approaching a tunnel immediate closing of valve apparatus 1 isolates the interior of the train from the environment and thus prevents the pressure surge from entering the passenger and driver cabin as far as possible.
  • Fig. 1 shows valve apparatus 1 in a perspective view from the top. It has a rectangular valve seat body 2 suitable to be mounted in a corresponding cross-section of a duct (not shown) or opening (not shown) for piping a fluid.

As shown, six damper protrusions 8 extend on one side of central portion 13 and six damper protrusions 8 extend on the opposite side of central portion 13. As the hole protuberances 7 in valve seat hole 3, in the present embodiment, damper protrusions 8 have a corresponding finger-like shape and size with rounded tips. As in case of the hole protuberances 7, each of the six damper protrusions 8 extending on one side of central region 13 is aligned with a respective one of the six damper protrusions 8 extending on the other side of central region 13.

  • Damper body 4 has its damper contour formed by a surrounding damper edge 6 as shown in Figs. 1 and 5 .
  • surrounding damper edge 6 is spaced apart from surrounding hole edge 5 so that fluid may flow through a surrounding aerodynamic gap formed between damper edge 6 and hole edge 5.
  • surrounding damper edge 6 abuts against surrounding hole edge 5 thereby forming a circumferential sealing line that has a circumferential sealing length.

  • the size of the aerodynamic gap may approximately be calculated as the product of the circumferential sealing length times the lift of damper body 4.
  • the lift of damper body 4 is the distance by which damper body 4 has been moved in Fig. 10 upwards in vertical direction in order to arrive at its position corresponding to the open configuration shown in Fig. 4 .
  • the size of the aerodynamic gap is significantly enlarged because the circumferential sealing length, i.e. the length of hole edge 5 or damper edge 6, is significantly enlarged. This is explained in the following more closely with reference to Fig. 15 .
  • Fig. 15 depicts a bottom plan view of valve apparatus 1 with two additional circles that are no structural features of valve apparatus 1 but serve explanatory and comparative purposes.

  • a smaller circle is marked as equal area circle EAC in Fig. 15 .
  • the circle area of equal area circle EAC has the same size as the hole area enclosed by double-comb shaped hole contour of valve seat hole 3. Assuming that equal area circle EAC would form a damper contour of a damper body, the size of the area of the aerodynamic gap would be calculated as the circumferential length of equal area circle EAC times the lift of the damper body.
  • the aerodynamic gap may be significantly larger than the one calculated on the basis of a circular damper contour according to equal area circle EAC.

  • the circumferential sealing length as with the double-comb shaped valve seat hole 3 and damper body 4 according to the present invention by means of a circular valve seat hole and damper body, it would be necessary to cover considerably more cross-sectional area and thus space because the duct or opening for piping the fluid would have to be enlarged in proportional manner.
  • the increased cross-sectional area would require a higher closing force because the pressure difference acts on an increased area of the damper body.
  • the present invention achieves much more circumferential sealing length while at the same time not covering more hole area than the one enclosed by equal area circle EAC.

  • the rotational lift (lift resulting from the angle of rotation) of damper body 4 would be rather small and the principle of calculating the size of the aerodynamic gap as discussed herein before could still be applied. It could be assumed that the lift of damper body 4 along the complete circumferential sealing line is constant for approximating the size of the aerodynamic gap.
  • bias towards the open or closed configuration is preferred in this context for example a leaf or plate spring could be employed for effecting the bias.

  • force transmission means in the form of a knee-lever mechanism 11 are arranged between actuator rod 10 and traverse 21.
  • Force transmission means at this place of valve apparatus 1 have the function to convert the relatively small actuator force delivered by actuator rod 10 into a relatively large closing force acting on traverse 21 and thus damper body 4 for reliably and safely pressing damper edge 6 against hole edge 5 in the closed configuration.
  • solenoid actuator 9 is electrically activated actuator rod 10 extends and forces traverse 21 through knee-lever mechanism 11 against the bias of pressure springs 22 into the closed configuration.

  • Loading solenoid actuator 9 with current results in extending actuator rod 10 thereby pivoting first lever 14 clockwise around knee joint 23 and second lever 15 anticlockwise around traverse joint 24 to a stretched relative position in which first and second levers 14, 15 are not fully or exactly aligned as can be seen in Fig. 14 .
  • second lever 15 transfers a closing force to traverse 21 and damper body 4 that sealingly presses damper edge 6 against hole edge 5 against the bias of pressure springs 22.
  • first lever 14 has at its lower end in Fig. 14 a stop means 18 in the form of a bolt or the like.
