L l i United States Patent Ofifice 3,057,775 Patented Dec. 11, 1962 3,067,775 HYDRAULIC DISTRIBUTOR Antoine Brueder, Paris, France, assignor to Societe Anonyme Andre Citroen, Paris, France Filed Apr. 24, 1961, Ser. No. 105,093 Claims priority, application France Apr. 10, 1958 4 Claims. (Cl. 137-62515) It is known through my copending patent application Ser. No. 796,857 filed on March 3, 1959, of which this application is a continuation in part, to provide a hydraulic distributor of which the control member is adapted to either isolate a load line or cause the latter to communicate with a source of compressed fluid, with an exhaust, according to the position of the control member on either side of an intermediate position.
It is an essential object of said copending application to provide a hydraulic distributor of the type broadly set forth hereinabove which is provided with a retarding means also of the hydraulic type which is adapted to resist the movement of said control member when said member is moved away from its intermediate position and to permit this movement without interfering therewith when said control member moves toward its intermediate position.
It is another object of the copending application to provide a hydraulic distributor of this type wherein the control member consists of a slide valve, the fluid distribution being controlled directly by the axial movement of this slide valve.
Furthermore, this copending application aims at providing ahydraulic distributor of the type set forth, wherein said slide valve projects at either end from the distributor body with two end portions housed respectively in two lateral chambers filled with liquid, said slide valve controlling the movements of this liquid from one chamber to the other through a constricted passage when said slide valve is moved away from its intermediate position.
It is the essential object of the distributor construction forming the subject-matter'of the present application to embody the difierent objects set forth hereinabove as well as additional objects set forth hereinafter.
' lt is therefore another object of this application to provide a distributor having a simpler structure than that described in the copending application.
i It is a. further object of the present application to provide an improved arrangement wherein the two lateral chambers have their inner space free of any partition or walltherebetween, so that any slide valve movement will reduce the volume of one chamber While increasing the volume of the other chamber, the liquid flowing from the first chamber to the other chamber through a passage providing a communication between said chambers through the distributor body.
Finally, it is an object of this application to provide means for retarding the liquid flowing through said passage, as well as an arrangement whereby said first means are rendered inoperative when the direction of the slide valve movement is such that this slide valve moves toward its neutral or inoperative position.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention resides in the novel arrangement and combination of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention...
Other objects and advantages will become apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, of which the single FIGURE shows in axial section a distributor constructed according to the teachings of this invention.
This distributor comprises a body 1 through which a substantially axial passage is formed and receives a control slide valve 2 having two cylindrical end portions projecting on either side of the lateral faces of the body 1. In its intermediate position, as shown in the figure, this control slide valve isolates a load pipe line (not shown) connected to the orifice 3. In positions departing from this intermediate position, that is, to the left and to the right as seen in the drawing, this slide valve 2 connects the line 3 either with the supply of compressed liquid connected to the orifice 4, or to an exhaust port 5.
The left-hand end of slide valve 2 has fitted thereon the axial integral socket of a flexible diaphragm 6 of resilient material. The central portion of the flexible diaphragm 6 is retained and fastened to the slide valve 2 by means of a pair of metal disks 7, 8 disposed on either side of the socket; one disk 7 engages a circlip- 9 fitted in a circular grooove formed in the slide valve, and the other 8 is locked by means of. a nut 10 engaging the screw-threaded end projecting from the cylindrical end portion of the slide valve 2. The circular outer periphcry of the diaphragm 6 is clamped on the outer circular contour of the left-hand lateral face of the body 1 so as to form a lateral chamber between this face and the diaphragm. On the right-hand side, as shown in the drawing, the slide valve 2 has mounted thereon elements 911, 7a, 6a and 8a exactly symmetrical to the elements 9, 7,- 6, 8 described hereinabove. The tapped element 10a similar to the nut 10 has the same function as the latter but,-
in addition, it is shaped to permit the control of the sliding movements of the slide valve 2. Another pair of flexible diaphragm 11, 11a have their central-portions secured on the tapped members 10, 10a on either side of the slide valve 2, and the circular outer periphery of these other diaphragms are clamped over those of diaphragms 6, 6a respectively. The only function of these diaphragms 11, 11a is to protect the outer faces of diaphragrns 6, 6a.
The two lateral chambers formed by the diaphragms 6, 6a on either side of the body 1 communicate'with eachother through a passage 12 formed through the body 1 and opening into a pair of.circular grooves 13, 13a formed in the two lateral faces of the body around or con-1 centrically to the cylindrical end portions of slide valve 2. This passage 12 communicates with a duct 14 con nected with a reservoir containing a liquid at the atmospheric pressure which fills the two chambers and the duct 12.
Engaging each lateral face of the body 1 is an annular plate 15, 15a in which a small calibrated hole 16, 16a is formed so as. to register with a circular groove 13. 13a formed in the relevant face of the body 1.
7 Each chamber has housed therein a light coil compression spring 17, 17a bearing against the corresponding disk 7 or 7a and urging the annular plate 15 or 15a toward the relevant lateral face of the body 1 in this chamber. When the slide valve 2 is in the intermediate position illustrated in the drawing the two annular plates- 15, 15a are pressed by the springs 17, 17a against thetwo lateral faces of the body. Each cylindrical end portion of the slide valve 2 on which the annular plate 15 or 15a is slidably fitted is limited by a projecting shoulder 18, 18a of which the outer diameter is greaterthan the inner diameter of the plate so that, in the aforesaid intermediate position of the slide valve which is'shown in the drawing, this shoulder is substantially flush withand preferably slightly recessed fromthe lateral face of the body 1 from which this end portion of the slide valve 2 projects.
This distributor operates as follows:
When the slide valve 2 under the control of the screwed element lila is in the intermediate position shown in the drawing the load pipe line 3 is isolated from the compressed liquid inlet orifice 4 and also from the exhaust orifice 5. When the slide valve 2 is moved either in the direction of the arrow 1 or in the opposite direction, this load line 3 is caused to communicate either with the exhaust 5 or with the inlet 4. If for example the slide valve 2 is pulled in the direction of the arrow 7, the diaphragm 6 will move toward the body and the volume of the relevant lateral chamber decreases, but the liquid contained in this chamber cannot escape toward the other expanded chamber unless it flows to the duct 12 through the calibrated orifice 16 formed in the annular plate 15 urged by the spring 17 and also by the liquid pressure exerted against the registering face of body 1, this liquid subsequently flowing into the other oppo site chamber in which the shoulder 18a keeps the annular plate 15a spaced from the lateral wall of body 1. The movement of the slide valve in the direction away from its intermediate position is thus retarded. When the slide valve having thus been moved in the direction of the arrow 1 returns to its intermediate or initial position, that is, in the direction opposite to that shown by the arrow, the volume of the chamber bound by the diaphragm 6a decreases as the volume of the chamber bound by the diaphragm 6 increases, and under these circumstances the liquid compressed in chamber 6a escapes therefrom without encountering any resistance since the shoulder 18a keeps the annular plate 15a away from the body 1. The expanded chamber bound by the diaphragm 6 is supplied with liquid also without any resistance since the liquid entering the annular groove 13 will easily move the annular plate 15 away from the body 1 against the weak resistance of spring 17. The operation is exactly the same when the slide valve 2 moves .away from the intermediate position of the drawing but in the direction opposite to that shown by the arrow f and when it returns from this outer position to the intermediate position.
The above-described distributor, like the one described and illustrated in my compending patent application Ser. No. 796,857 of March .3, 1959, may be used in hydraulic systems of the type designed for maintaining automatically the level of the frame of a vehicle by resiliently connecting the slide valve 2 to a member responsive to this level. However, the distributor of this invention is also applicable to many apparatus and systems in whichits specific function or mode of operation is deemed useful.
