Abstract
A non-return valve, interposed between a vacuum tank, particularly of the kind used for the braking system in motor vehicles, and a vacuum pump, comprises a valve seat 8, a valve head 10 urged towards the seat by a compression spring 11. The valve head is dimensioned and constructed, relative to the passage in which it is installed, in such a way that when the air-stream flowing through the valve passage exceeds a certain speed of flow the valve head is carried along, against the influence of the compression spring, until it obturates an aperture 13, leaving open for the passage of air only at least one further aperture 14, thereby throttling the flow of air discharged into the engine crankcase and ensures good starting of the engine. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Non-return valve
The invention relates to a non-return valve interposed between a vacuum tank, particularly of a kind used for the braking systems in motor vehicles, and a vacuum pump, the valve comprising a valve seat, a valve head and a compression spring.
A non-return valve of this general kind is known, for example, from the British Patent
Specification 912 119 and serves for preventing back-flow of air from the suction chamber of the pump into the vacuum tank, carrying lubricant with it.
For harmless disposal, the oil-laden air from the vacuum pump is often discharged into the crankcase of the engine, which is usually vented into the air-intake system of the engine. This has the disadvantage that when the vacuum pump is discharging a large stream of air, for example when the engine is being started up or when the braking system is being heavily used, the large stream of air discharged into the crankcase and vented into the air-intake system can precipitate oil there, causing excessive burning of oil in the cylinders, or the engine becomes difficult to start.
The intention in the present invention is to obviate this difficulty. The problem is solved by the characteristic described in the claim.
Accordingly, this invention provides a nonreturn valve interposed between a vacuum reservoir, particularly of the kind used for the braking systems in motor vehicles, and a vacuum pump, the valve comprising a valve seat, and a valve head urged towards the seat by a compression spring, and wherein the valve head is dimensioned and constructed, relative to the passage in which it is installed, in such a way that when the air-stream flowing through the valve passage exceeds a certain speed of flow the valve head is carried along, against the influence of the compression spring until it obturates an aperture, leaving open for the passage of air only at least one further aperture, thereby throttling the flow of air aspirated by the vacuum pump.
One example of the invention shown will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawing.
The drawing shows a vacuum pump 1 with its cover removed, the suction chamber of the pump being shown at 2.
The pump 1 extracts air through a connection 3 from a vacuum reservoir, shown diagrammatically at R in the drawing, which can, for example, serve the vacuum-operated vehicle braking system shown diagrammatically at S. The air extracted from the vacuum reservoir R passes inwards towards the pump 1 through an inlet passage 6 in the connection 3, through a valve passage 5 of greater diameter and through a pump-inlet port 4 into the suction chamber 2 of the pump. Between the inlet passage 6 and the valve passage 5 of greater diameter, there is a shoulder 7.
The shoulder 7 forms a valve seat 8 for a valve head 10 which is thrust into contact with its seat 8 by a compression spring 11, which takes support against a valve plate 12, which has a central aperture 13 and, in addition, one or more auxiliary side-apertures 14.
The valve-head 10 is so dimensioned and constructed, relative to the valve passage 5, that when a moderate stream of air is being extracted from the vacuum reservoir R the valve-head 10 is lifted only a little way off its seat 8 but with increasing flow of air the valve-head 10 is carried along, against the influence of the compression spring 11, until it comes into contact with the valve plate 12, obturating the central aperture 13 of the valve plate 12, but with the side aperture 14, or apertures, remaining open.
This reduces the rate of flow of extracted air into the crankcase of the engine but without impairing the action of the non-return valve 9 in preventing the pressure in the pumping chamber 2 from striking back into the vacuum reservoir R, carrying lubricating oil with it.
Thus the sring loaded valve device is so constructed and arranged that when the airstream flowing through the valve passage exceeds a certain rate or speed of flow the valve head 10 is carried along, against the influence of the compression spring 11, until it obturates the main aperture 13, leaving open for the passage of air only the (at least one) further aperture 14, thereby throttling the flow of air discharged into the engine crankcase.
Inter alia this helps to ensure good starting of the engine.
CLAIM
1. A non-return valve interposed between a vacuum reservoir, particularly of the kind used for the braking systems in motor vehicles, and a vacuum pump, the valve comprising a valve seat, and a valve head urged towards the seat by a compression spring, and wherein the valve head (10) is dimensioned and constructed, relative to the passage (5) in which it is installed, in such a way that when the air-stream flowing through the valve passage (5) exceeds a certain speed of flow the valve head (10) is carried along, against the influence of the compression spring (11) until it obturates an aperture (13), leaving open for the passage of air only at least one further aperture (14), thereby throttling the flow of air aspirated by the vacuum pump.
2. A non-return valve substantially as described with reference to the accompanying drawing.
