Definitions
- ABSTRACT Rapid start-up acceleration is automatically attained by pressure relief provided for the discharge chamber through a dump valve referenced to the drive chamber of the actuator. Deceleration is accomplished by snubbing hydraulic fluid discharge and by diverting pressure directly from the hydralic feed line. Negative pressure relief or anti-cavitation is provided for in the hydraulic system of the actuator. A novel, efficient snubber valve is carried by the actuator piston to control hydraulic fluid passing through the discharge port of the actuator.
- Another object of the invention is to attain new and improved start-up acceleration in the operation of hydraulic actuators and more particularly heavy-duty actuators.
- a further object of the invention is to provide new and improved deceleration method and means in the operation of hydraulic actuators.
- Still another object of the invention is to provide new and'improved anti-cavitation control for hydraulic actuators.
- Yet another object of the invention is to provide new and improved snubber valve control means in hydraulic scription of a preferred embodiment thereof, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, although variations and modifications may be effected without departing from the spirit and scope of the novel concepts embodied in the disclosure, and in which:
- FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a representative hydraulic actuator and hydraulic operating and control system
- FIG. 2 is a fragmentary sectional plan view of the actuator and snubber control valve structure
- FIG. 3 is a fragmentary sectional detail view taken substantially along the line IlIIII of FIG. 2;
- FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of one of the snubber valve members.
- a rotary hydraulic actuator 10 comprises an annular housing 11 having opposite end walls 12 (only one being shown) coaxially journalling a wingshaft 13 within an annular working chamber 14 defined within the housing 11. Suitable means (not shown) are provided, as is customary, for securing the housing 11 and the shaft 13 to respective parts of equipment which must be relatively moved by operation of the actuator.
- Such operation is effected by means of hydraulic fluid such as suitable oil under pressure introduced into the working chamber 14 to cause hydraulic pressure reaction between an abutment 15 carried by the chamber and a piston vane 17 carried by the shaft 13.
- the abutment 15 is fixedly mounted in the housing and in sliding engagement with the perimeter of the shaft 13 and provides a liquid bar rier across the chamber 14.
- the piston vane 17 divides the chamber in cooperation with the abutment 15 into respective subchambers, with the result that when hydraulic fluid is introduced under pressure into one subchamber while the opposite subchamber is permitted to drain or discharge, expansion of the pressurized chamber causes relative rotation of the shaft 13 and the housing 11 by driving force of the pressure against the piston vane 17.
- Hydraulic pressure fluid for driving the actuator 10 is supplied through a hydraulic circuit by a pump 18 controlled and powered in a suitable manner and operative to draw hydraulic fluid through a duct 19 from a tank or sump 20 and force the fluid under pressure into a supply duct 21 under a constant head of pressure of, for example, about 2,000 psi., depending upon service requirements.
- the supply duct 21 may be blocked by a control valve 22 which may be of the reciprocable manually operated or controlled type having a central non-demand or neutral zone. As thus blocked the hydraulic fluid may by-pass from the duct 21 through a normally closed pressure release valve 23 to return by way of a duct 24 to the intake duct 19 or the sump 20.
- the control valve 22 When it is desired to operate the-actuator 10 by driving the vane shaft 13 in either the clockwise or counterclockwise direction relative to the housing 11 as shown in FIG. 1, the control valve 22 is shifted to a effect communication between the pressure side of the pump 18 and the actuator subchamber which is to be pressurized and between the low pressure or suction side of the pump and the discharge or low pressure subchamber of the actuator.
- a symmetrical reversible hydraulic control system is provided wherein each of the working subchambers of the actuator is connectable alternatively with either side of the pump 18 through a similar respective duct 25 communicating with its subchamber through a port 27 in the selected end wall 12 of the actuator housing, such port being located in an instance near but suitably spaced from the abutment 15.
- the lefthand working subchamber of the actuator as shown in FIG. 1 is pressurized by connecting its duct 25 with the pressure delivery duct 21 while the other communication duct 25 is placed in communication with the low pressure duct 24 communicating with the intake side of the pump 18.
- the valve 22 is moved towards'the left as shown in FIG. 1, the reverse communication relationship is effected, namely, the right hand working subchamber is pressurized and becomes the drive chamber and the lefthand subchamber becomes the discharge chamber.
- each such duct is provided with a flow restriction 28 near the valve 22.
- pressure flows through each of the ducts 25 to its port 27 is controlled by a flow limiting restriction 29 located near the subchamber port.
- drive chamber pressure Upon adjusting the valve 22 for pressurizing either selected working subchamber of the actuator 10, drive chamber pressure will promptly reach substantially pump pressure, i.e., 2,000 psi., and the actuator wingshaft 13 will begin to turn by reason of the pressure exerted on the piston vane 17.
- substantially pump pressure i.e., 2,000 psi.
- back pressure will tend to resist rapid acceleration. Therefore pressure is automatically relieved from the discharge line between the restrictions 28 and 29.
- means comprising a port 30 adjacent to the abutment and by which pressure is referenced from the drive chamber through a duct 30a to a drive piston 31 by which a dump valve plunger 32 is shifted in opposition to biasing means in the form of a spring 33 to connect a normally blocked bypass duct 34 connecting the duct 25 between the orifices 28 and 29 with a return duct 35 communicating with the suction line 19 and/or the sump 20.
- a normally blocked bypass duct 34 connecting the duct 25 between the orifices 28 and 29 with a return duct 35 communicating with the suction line 19 and/or the sump 20.
- the pressure line restrictions 28 and 29 reduce the drive chamber pressure to a lower value, for example to 1,000 psi., and below the bias value of the dump valve spring 33 which is thus closed to disconnect or block the by-pass duct 34 and restore the discharge line 25 to flow through the restriction 28 thereof to pump or sump.
- the exhausting hydraulic fluid is thereby maintained at a back pressure which nearly approximates the drive pressure to maintain smooth, constant speed in the driving stroke of the operating cycle.
- This comprises opening the dump valve 32 connected with the pressure line 25 to by-pass and thus relieve sufficient pressure downstream from the orifice 28 to the return line duct 35 to reduce driving pressure in the drive chamber enough to maintain substantially constant running speed.
- Operation of the pressure line dump valve 32 is the same as already described for the dump valve 32 of the exhaust line, the excess pressure being referenced by way of the port 30 communicating with the exhaust chamber through the associated duct 30a to the drive piston 31 of the dump valve 32 in opposition to its spring bias 33 to open the by-pass line 34.
- a respective crossover relief valve 38 for each of the working subchambers of the actuator communicates on the pressure responsive or upstream side with the respective referencing duct 30a and on the downstream or discharge side with the return line 35, desirably by way of a branch duct 39.
- Each of the valves 38 desirably is normally biased as by means of a spring 40 to remain closed until a predetermined pressure is referenced thereto from the exhaust chamber, for example 1800 psi., which pressure is great enough to effect reasonably prompt deceleration of the actuator but low enough to avoid system over-load and damaging stress.
- make-up hydraulic fluid is supplied to the shut-off pressure chamber from the low pressure or the return line portion of the hydraulic system.
- a respective anti-cavitation make-up duct 41 communicates with thereturn line duct 35 through the duct 39 with a respective check valve 42 communicating with the associated working subchamber of the actuator through a respective port 43 adjacent to the abutment 15.
- the check valves 42 prevent outflow through the ports 43 but permit anti-cavitation inflow as required.
- Anti-cavitation inflow or replenishment to the respective subchamber is implemented by the constant pressure maintained in the return duct line 35 by the restriction 37.
- New and improved means are provided for snubbing deceleration of the actuator piston at terminus of each driving stroke which, in the actuator and its hydraulic control circuitry as illustrated, is in each opposite direction of travel of the piston vane 17, since the same pump pressure is utilized in each opposite direction and the hydraulic control circuitry in the system is symmetrical as shown.
- the piston vane 17 has at each side thereofa respective laterally projecting snubber valve plate 44 operative to close off or throttle discharge through the port 27 of the associated working subchamber progressively in the terminal portion of each driving or working stroke, thereby attaining smooth stress-free deceleration and stopping of the actuator.
- Such pressure is referenced to and operates the dump valve 32 of thepressure line 25, thereby diverting pump pressure to the return line 35 and relieving pressure in the drive chamber of the actuator.
- each of the valve plates is constructed to provide a slide face 45 arranged to bear against the face of the actuator housing closure 12 through which the port 27 communicates.
- the face 45 is on a portion of the valve plate which is elongated to project a substantial distance laterally from the associated side of the piston vane 17 and in the direction of movement of the vane into the respective working subchamber.
- the orifice groove 47 diminishes in depth at a greater angle to a transition point or line 48 from which the throttling orifice groove diminishes at a shallower angle to the terminal end of the groove, both tapering angles being calculated to be complementary for smooth, progressive throttling coordinated with functioning of the pressure line dump valve 32 by reference to the pressure built up in the exhaust chamber as the throttling progresses.
- the sliding surface 45 At the trailing end of the throttle orifice groove 47, the sliding surface 45 fully covers the port 27 and thus brings the piston vane to a complete halt. Aiding the throttling action of the throttle valve member 45 is the pressure built up in the exhaust chamber as throttling progresses so that at the terminus of throttling the pressure firmly presses the throttle valve face 45 against the face of the closure 12.
- the valve member 44 is mounted in a manner to enable a limited range of movement toward and away from the face of the closure 12.
- the side of the vane 17 from which the throttle valve member 44 projects is provided with a mounting recess 49 for the trailing or butt end of the valve member, such recess opening not only from the side of the vane but also from the edge of the vane which opposes the closure 12 in which the port 27 is located.
- the mounting recess 49 is complementary to and accommodates an integral mounting lug 50 on the butt end portion of the valve member, with the sides of the mounting lug and the sides defining the recess 49 being in close but slidable relation so that movement of the valve member is permitted longitudinally of the recess but the valve member will be held firmly against any significant movement laterally thereof as it is carried into throttling relation to the port 27.
- means comprising a connecting pin 51 are pro vided which pin is secured at its opposite ends in the vane 17 and extends through a bearing opening 52 in the lug 50 and which bearing lug is sized to retain the valve member against displacement in its longitudinal direction relative to the vane 17.
- the bearing hole 52 is elongated on an axis normal to the valve face 45, as best seen in FIGS. 3 and 4.
- the valve member 44 is normally biased toward and into bearing engagement with the closure member 12.
- means comprising a biasing spring 53 are provided desirably in the form of a coiled torsion or sear spring engaged about the pin 51 within a clearance slot 54 provided therefor in the lug 50.
- One leg of the spring 53 thrusts against the valve member 44 and the other leg thrusts against the back wall defining the recess 49.
- Bias provided by the spring 53 need be only sufficient to positively hold the valve member against the confronting face of the closure 12.
- Such bias should be of only limited thrust value so as to enable quick release of the valve member 44 in response to hydraulic driving pressure through the port 27 closed by the valve, when it is desired to reverse operation of the actuator.
- a combination according to claim 1 including a return line to said source, and said means for relieving pressure comprising a bypass from said exhaust line to said return line and a normally closed dump valve in said bypass referenced to and driven open by predetermined pressure in said one subchamber greater than normal running pressure.
