Definitions

  • This invention relates to air braking systems of vehicles.
  • the air dryer typically consists of a container of desiccant, and is periodically regenerated by passing a small volume of dry air through the desiccant in reverse, and allowing this volume to exhaust to atmosphere.
  • a pressure sensitive switch senses maximum pressure in the reservoir.
  • This switch may cause a pressure signal to be applied to a regeneration valve which exhausts the air system upstream of the air dryer, a volume of dry air downstream of the air dryer being permitted to bypass the non-return valve via a restrictor.
  • the opening of this regeneration valve may also connect the compressor outlet directly to exhaust, allowing the compressor to freewheel, or unloading of the compressor may be effected by a parallel system.
  • the regeneration valve closes, and the compressor is brought on load to recharge the reservoir.
  • a known air braking system of a vehicle has a source of fluid under pressure, an air dryer downstream of said source, and an air consumer circuit downstream of the air dryer, and the system has control means to suspend the source on demand to permit backflow of air under pressure from the air consumer circuit through the air dryer to a drain valve.
  • the control means comprises an electrically actuated command valve having an inlet connected to the air consumer circuit a supply outlet operably connected to the drain valve and an exhaust outlet In use the valve is movable from a closed condition in which the outlets are connected, to an open condition in which the inlet and the supply outlet are connected, the drain valve being resiliently closed and movable from a closed condition to an open condition on connection of the inlet and supply outlet.
  • the source may be suspended by exhausting through said drain valve, but alternatively the supply outlet is operably connected to unloading means for directly unloading or suspending the source, so that the unloading means is operated when the inlet and supply outlet are connected.
  • Regeneration flow is initiated by an electrically actuable regeneration valve, and the regeneration and command valves are typically actuated simultaneously, so that opening of the drain valve coincides with regeneration backflow through the air dryer.
  • the electrically actuable regeneration valve of the known air braking system is substituted by a regeneration valve operable to permit regeneration backflow in response to connection of the inlet and supply outlets of the command valve.
  • a vehicle air braking system having a source of fluid under pressure, an air dryer downstream of said source, and an air consumer circuit downstream of the air dryer, the system having control means to suspend the source on demand to permit backflow of air under pressure from the air consumer circuit through the air dryer to a drain valve, the control means comprising a regeneration valve, and a command valve having an inlet connected to the air consumer circuit, and a supply outlet operably connected to the drain valve, wherein the regeneration valve is operable to permit regeneration backflow in response to connection of the inlet and supply outlets of the command valve.
  • the drain valve may be resiliently biased to a closed position and movable from said closed position to an open position on connection of the command valve inlet and supply outlet
  • the regeneration valve may be spring biased to a closed position and connected to the supply outlet against movement of the closure spring.
  • the regeneration valve and the drain valve may preferably be connected to a common signal line leading from said supply outlet.
  • the control means may suspend the source by exhausting through the drain valve.
  • the system may include a compressor unloader, the source being suspendable via said compressor unloader.
  • the compressor unloader may be operable via an unloader valve, said unloader valve having an inlet connected to the air consumer circuit and an outlet connected to the compressor unloader, said valve being resiliently biased to a closed position and movable to an open position thereby connecting the inlet to the outlet.
  • the unloader valve may be electrically operable.
  • This arrangement eliminates the need for electrical actuation of the regeneration valve, and ensures simultaneous operation of the drain and regeneration valves since they are responsive to a common signal source at the supply outlet.
  • the known air braking system includes an electrically actuable unloader valve having an inlet connected to said air consumer circuit and movable from a closed to an open condition whereby said inlet is operably connected via an unloading outlet to means for directly unloading or suspending such source.
  • Such an arrangement provides controlled unloading using pressure in the air consumer circuit as the motive force.
  • regeneration flow may be via the command valve.
  • the supply outlet of the command valve is connected via a non-return valve and fluid restrictor to a point just downstream of the air dryer.
  • the source of air pressure is suspended (by e.g. opening of the drain valve) and at the same time air pressure is fed from the consumer circuit via the supply outlet for backflow through the air dryer, to exhaust through the drain valve.
  • This arrangement has the advantage that a simple non-return valve and restrictor replaces the usual regeneration valve.
  • the air pressure source may of course be suspended directly by means of the electrically actuable unloader value of the second aspect.
  • the system may include an exhaust valve between said source and said air drier whereby said source can be directly exhausted, said exhaust valve being operable by connection to the supply outlet of the unloader valve of the second aspect.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of an existing air circuit of a vehicle
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of a first embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic illustration of a second embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a schematic illustration of a third embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 1 A conventional system is illustrated in FIG. 1
  • a compressor 1 supplies air under pressure via an air dryer A through a non-return valve 5 to an air system 2 .
  • a conventional pressure relief valve F vents the compressor supply line in the event of a maximum pressure being reached.
  • An electrically actuated regeneration valve D is closed by a spring, but can be opened to permit backflow of air from the air system 2 to the air dryer A via a restrictor 6 .
  • An electrically actuated command valve C is also closed by a spring, in which condition a signal line 7 to a compressor unloader 4 is vented in an exhaust outlet.
  • a dump valve B for the system upstream of the air dryer A is normally closed by a spring, but can be opened on application of sufficient pressure in signal line 8 .
  • Another signal line 9 also permits venting via the dump valve B in the event that system pressure exceeds a predetermined maximum.
  • the compressor 1 charges the air system 2 via the air dryer A.
  • the command valve C may be actuated electrically to cause a signal pressure to pass in a supply outlet to signal line 8 .
  • This signal causes the dump valve B to open, thus connecting the compressor to exhaust and allowing it to freewheel against the small resistance imposed by the system pipework upstream of the dump valve B.
  • the signal line 7 is optional, and causes direct operation of a compressor unloader 4 (for example a cylinder head valve), thus eliminating the pumping losses imposed by pipework upstream of dump valve B.
  • the means for sensing pressure in the system 2 is conventional, and for example comprises a pressure switch having maximum and minimum settings corresponding to compressor ‘on’ and compressor ‘off’ valves.
  • both valves C and D are energised.
  • the compressor is unloaded and dump valve B opens. Air under pressure is permitted to bleed back through restrictor 6 , thus removing moisture from the air dryer A to exhaust.
  • Valve D may be closed according to any desirable system parameter, such as pressure drop, time, humidity of exhausted air, etc.
  • This relatively simple system provides control of regeneration by the use of electrically actuated valves C, D.
  • FIG. 2 An improved air system according to the invention is illustrated in FIG. 2; components corresponding to FIG. 1 have the same references and functionality.
  • the regeneration valve D is actuated by pilot pressure in signal line 8 .
  • the unloader signal line 7 is under the control of an independent electrically actuated unloader valve E.
  • the arrangement permits an unloader signal to be generated by electrical actuation of valve E.
  • Dump valve B remains closed, and accordingly air under pressure between the compressor and the air dryer is not exhausted.
  • command valve C causes a pilot pressure to both open the dump valve B and the regeneration valve D, and regeneration occurs as previously described.
  • FIG. 3 A second system according to the invention is illustrated in FIG. 3. Again the same references are used for components having the same functionality.
  • the compressor can be unloaded independently, as described in connection with FIG. 2.
  • the command valve C directly supplies fluid under pressure via an assembly G, comprising a non-return valve 9 and restrictor 10 , to a point downstream of the air dryer A.
  • valves C and E are actuated, both to open the dump valve B and to permit regeneration air flow via command valve C.
  • This arrangement replaces the relatively expensive regeneration valve D with a simple non-return valve and restrictor.
  • FIG. 3 also illustrates a pressure voltage transducer 12 for generating an electrical signal voltage proportional to system pressure.
  • a signal voltage can be used in all of the embodiments to determine operation of the electrically actuated valves C, D, E.
  • FIG. 4 A third system according to the invention is illustrated in FIG. 4 and is adapted to certain types of compressor that cannot tolerate a downstream pressure when unloaded. This system is similar to that of FIG. 3, and common components carry the same references.
  • the compressor 1 supplies air under pressure to the air dryer A via a shut off valve H.
  • a drain valve K is operable to connect the portion of the circuit between the compressor and valve H to exhaust.
  • valves H and K being urged to an end position by respective return springs.
  • Increasing compressor pressure acts as a pilot on the top (as viewed) of valve H, and at a predetermined minimum pressure this valve opens to supply air under pressure to the air dryer A.
  • valve E is electrically activated to apply a signal pressure to signal line 7 to unload the compressor.
  • a signal pressure is also applied to signal line 11 whereby drain valve K is urged to an open condition, and shut off valve H is. urged to the closed condition.
  • the output port of the compressor 1 is thus open to exhaust via valve K, but pressure downstream of valve H is maintained.
