Abstract
The invention relates to a coolant-supplying flange for a component to be cooled, especially an exhaust gas recirculation valve, said flange comprising a centring drum (3) in a duct (4) for the circulation of said coolant in said component, said drum (3) extending in an axial direction, said drum (3) being crossed by a channel (6) for the circulation of said coolant, extending in said axial direction, said drum (3) having at least one passage (13) allowing a transverse circulation of the fluid between said circulation duct (4) of the component and said circulation channel (6) of said flange.
Description
- The invention relates to a flange for supplying coolant to a component that is to be cooled, and to a component equipped with such a flange. It will find notable applications as a coolant supplying flange of a combustion engine air circuit valve. Within the meaning of the invention, a “combustion engine air circuit” means the circuit between the intake inlet and the exhaust outlet of the combustion engine. The valve may be positioned in the intake circuit, in the exhaust circuit, or in a recirculation loop through which exhaust gases reinjected into the intake side pass (this being more commonly known as an EGR loop).
- In general, an internal combustion engine exhaust gas recirculation system makes it possible to reduce the amount of nitrogen oxides present in the exhaust gases. Conventionally, such a recirculation system comprises a bypass duct on the exhaust gas pipe, this duct being equipped with a flow regulating valve, referred to as an EGR valve, that allows the desired amount of exhaust gas to be returned to the intake side of the engine.
- Such a valve therefore has passing through it gases which, although sometimes cooled before passing through the valve, are at very high temperatures. It is therefore appropriate to cool said valve and to do so it is known practice to use a coolant passing through a network of ducts that pass through the valve.
- In order to circulate the liquid through the valve use is made of inlet and/or outlet flanges. These are centered on the ducts of the valve with which they communicate via a barrel that makes it easier to fit and position the flanges on the valve.
- However, it has been found that the barrel insulated the valve body from the cooling circuit and locally created a hot spot near the flange. Such a lack of cooling is all the more damaging because it makes the valve more sensitive to phenomena of thermal expansion in a region which ought rather to be shielded from these phenomena in order to avoid impairing the sealing or the attachment of the flange to the body.
- The invention proposes to address these problems by improving the cooling of the valve near the flange without losing the centering functionality of the flanges of the prior art.
- The invention thus relates to a flange for supplying coolant to a component that is to be cooled, notably a valve, said flange comprising a centering barrel for centering in a duct for the circulation of said coolant in said component, said barrel extending in an axial direction, said barrel having passing through it a canal for the circulation of said coolant extending in said axial direction.
- According to the invention, said barrel has one or more passages allowing the fluid a transverse circulation between said circulation duct of the component and said circulation canal of said flange.
- That way coolant is allowed to pass in contact with at least part of the walls of the component that is to be cooled which lie facing the barrel and phenomena of local heating near the flange are limited. This then avoids stressing the material of the component in this region and this in turn enhances the reliability of the mounting of said flange both in terms of sealing and in terms of mechanical integrity.
- According to various embodiments which may be considered together or separately:
-
- said canal opens at a distal end of the barrel,
- said barrel is cylindrical, notably of circular section,
- said flange comprises, at the base of the barrel, a shoulder that is configured to collaborate with a seal intended to afford sealing between said circulation duct of the component and the outside of the component,
- said passage or passages are situated between said shoulder and said distal end of the barrel,
- said passage or passages are slits extending in the direction of longitudinal extension of the barrel,
- said passage or passages are open axially at the distal end of the barrel,
- said passage or passages are three in number, for example angularly distributed 120° apart,
- said barrel comprises an annular wall extending around the axial direction in which the passages are formed, two consecutive passages between them defining a branch,
- said barrel is provided with reinforcing ribs, each reinforcing rib being arranged in said circulation canal of the barrel from the center of the canal toward a branch,
- said reinforcing ribs are oriented in the direction of longitudinal extension of said barrel.
- The invention also relates to a component that is to be cooled, notably a combustion engine air circuit valve such as an exhaust gas recirculation valve or EGR valve, comprising a coolant circulation duct and a flange as described hereinabove for the passage of said fluid to and/or from said duct.
- As an alternative, the invention relates to a combustion engine cooling circuit valve comprising a coolant circulation duct and a flange as described hereinabove for the passage of said fluid to and/or from said duct.
- Said duct advantageously widens in line with said barrel to create a jacket for the circulation of said coolant between said barrel and a wall of said duct.
- Said wall of the duct may comprise an angular succession of ribs and grooves to limit the area of contact between the barrel and the component. Said ribs and/or grooves are, for example, oriented along the longitudinal extension of the barrel. Advantageously, only the surface of the grooves is machined.
- Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from reading the following description which relates to detailed exemplary embodiments, given with reference to the attached figures which, respectively, depict:
-
FIG. 1 : a partial perspective view of one embodiment of a flange according to the invention; -
FIG. 2 : a view in longitudinal section of the flange ofFIG. 1 mounted in a cooling duct of an EGR valve; and -
FIG. 3 : a perspective view of the duct of the valve ofFIG. 2 , illustrated without the flange. - As illustrated in
FIG. 1 , the invention relates to acoolant supply flange 1 for a component that is to be cooled, notably a motor vehicle component. This may in particular be an exhaust gas recirculation valve. Such a valve is partially illustrated inFIG. 2 . - Said component that is to be cooled is made for example from a cast structure or
body 2, notably made of aluminum and/or aluminum alloy. - In the case of an exhaust gas recirculation valve, said
body 2 comprises a gas circulation duct, not visible. A valve shut-off member, such as a valve shutter or flap, is configured to shut off said gas circulation duct to a greater or lesser extent so as to allow the rate of flow of such gases through the valve to be regulated. Said valve may comprise dynamic members, such as a gear set with cogged wheels, for actuating said shut-off member or members from a valve drive motor. It may further comprise instrumentation, notably a position sensor, for monitoring said dynamic and/or shut-off members. - In order to allow it to be cooled, said component comprises a network for the passage of a coolant, notably water to which an antifreeze, particularly glycol, has been added, this coolant coming from a vehicle cooling circuit. Said component comprises at least one
circulation duct 4 for said coolant, through which duct said coolant enters and/or leaves said component. - Said
flange 1 comprises a centeringbarrel 3 for centering it in saidcoolant circulation duct 4 in said component. Saidbarrel 3 extends in an axial direction D. It defines acirculation canal 5 for said coolant which extends in said axial direction D. - As is more visible in
FIG. 1 , saidbarrel 3 is, for example, cylindrical, notably of circular cross section. Saidcirculation canal 5 may likewise be of circular section so that saidbarrel 3 is formed of anannular wall 17. Saidcanal 5 opens in said axial direction D, for example at adistal end 11 of thebarrel 3. Saidbarrel 3 encourages insertion of theflange 1 into the component that is to be cooled and correct positioning with respect to said component. - In this regard, said
flange 1 here comprises amounting plate 7 for fixing it to said component. Said mountingplate 7 is, for example, perpendicular to saidbarrel 3. It may compriseorifices 9 for the passage of fixing screws, not illustrated. For its part, said component that is to be cooled comprises, for example, bores 6 for fixing saidflange 1 to said component that is to be cooled using said screws. - Moreover, said component that is to be cooled may comprise a
seal 8 to seal between saidcoolant circulation duct 4 and the outside of the component that is to be cooled. Saidseal 8 is situated between saidflange 1 and said component that is to be cooled and it will be appreciated that sealing is notably dependent on correct positioning of saidflange 1 with respect to said component. - Said
flange 1 may comprise, at the base of thebarrel 3, ashoulder 15 configured to collaborate with theseal 8. Saidflange 1 may furthermore of course comprise one or more connecting orifices, not illustrated, connecting to the cooling circuit supplying said component that is to be cooled. - That being so, according to the invention, said
barrel 3 has one ormore passages 13 allowing transverse circulation of the fluid between saidcirculation duct 4 of the component and saidcirculation canal 5 of saidflange 1. Transverse here means a direction that is inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of thebarrel 3. - Said coolant is thus directed not only toward the
distal end 11 of thebarrel 3 but also toward awall 10 of thecirculation duct 4 that lies laterally facing saidbarrel 3. Saidwall 10 may consequently likewise be cooled. That then avoids the creation of hot spots that experience strong thermal expansion phenomena, stressing the material of thebody 2 near theflange 1 and risking impediment of the sealing afforded by saidseal 8 and impediment of the good mechanical connection between theflange 1 and the component in the region of said bores 6. - Said passage or
passages 13 are situated, for example, between saidshoulder 15 and saiddistal end 11 of thebarrel 3. Said passage orpassages 13 here are slits extending in the direction of longitudinal extension of the barrel, said slits 13 being open axially to thedistal end 11 of thebarrel 3. Said slit or slits 13 are three in number here, evenly spaced apart. Said slits 13 are separated bybranches 19 of saidbarrel 3 that extend angularly between twoadjacent slits 13 of said barrel. In other words, said slits 13 are formed by interruptions in theannular wall 17 of saidbarrel 3. Saidannular wall 17 here is defined by saidbranches 19 which are intended to project from theshoulder 15. Thedistal end 11 of thebarrel 3 is defined by a distal end of saidbranches 19. - Said
barrel 3 is advantageously provided with reinforcingribs 21, arranged in saidcirculation canal 5 of thebarrel 3 between thebranches 19. Said reinforcingribs 21 are oriented, for example, in the direction of longitudinal extension D of saidbarrel 3, particularly radially. They are three in number here and arranged in a star shape from the longitudinal direction of saidcanal 5. In that way they divide saidcanal 5 into three sub-canals for the passage of the coolant. - As is more visible in
FIG. 2 , saidduct 4 for example widens in line with saidbarrel 3 to create ajacket 12 for the circulation of said coolant between saidbarrel 3 and thewall 10 of saidduct 4. - With reference to
FIG. 3 it may be noted that saidwall 10 of theduct 4 comprises, particularly in the region of saidjacket 12, an angular succession ofribs 14 andgrooves 16 to limit the area of contact between thebarrel 3 and the component that is to be cooled. Saidribs 14 and/orgrooves 16 at one of their longitudinal ends have ashoulder 20 that faces theshoulder 15 of theflange 1, saidseal 8 being placed between saidshoulders - Advantageously, only the faces of said
ribs 14 are machined, while the surface finish of saidgrooves 16 is as-cast. - Said
ribs 14 and/orgrooves 16 are oriented, for example, in the longitudinal direction of thebarrel 3. They may have a substantially trapezoidal shape, the long base of theribs 14 being situated at one and the same axial end of saidjacket 12 as the short base of thegrooves 16, and vice versa at the opposite end. - It may also be noted from
FIG. 3 that said component may comprise apart 18 projecting from the rest of itsbody 2 in the region of which projecting part a mouth of saidcirculation duct 4 and/or saidbores 6 are formed.
