Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for measuring the distance or the movement between two machine parts separated by a seal of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 or 6 and 8.
- machine parts must be connected to one another in a sealed manner by means of a seal.
- a typical example of this is the connection between the engine block and the cylinder head of an internal combustion engine, between which a cylinder head gasket is arranged.
- the seal must, for example, seal the cooling water, the lubricating oil and the gases in the combustion chamber.
- the seal must compensate for vertical and horizontal movements of the cylinder head relative to the engine block, despite the strong thermal stresses, and must adapt to machining inaccuracies of the surfaces sealed against one another.
- the sealing and adaptation effect achieved is largely determined by the properties of the seal in connection with the contact pressure exerted on the seal by the machine parts.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method and an apparatus of the type mentioned that a simple measurement of the distance or the movement of two machine parts separated by a seal with little effort and high useful signal strength with good signal noise -Distance allowed.
- the sealing effect of the seal between the machine parts is in no way impaired, and the high pretensioning forces do not impair the signal-to-noise ratio of the useful signal.
- the capacitor coatings are supplemented inside or outside the seal by a coil to form a resonant circuit, or the flat coils are supplemented outside of the seal to form a resonant circuit, so that the measurement of the distance or the movements can be carried out on the basis of a resonance frequency measurement of the resonant circuits thus formed.
- capacitor coatings and / or the flat coil coils can be produced in a very simple manner using customary production techniques, since metal inserts are used in many areas in such seals anyway during production.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a cylinder head / engine block combination with a seal arranged between these parts according to an embodiment of the invention
- Fig. 5 shows a fifth embodiment of the seal according to the invention.
- a seal 3 is arranged between the cylinder head 1, which is only shown schematically, and the engine block 4 of an internal combustion engine, the section of the seal shown here only serving to seal the combustion chamber and, of course, also in practice, for example Can extend over water and oil channels and seals them.
- the seal 3 consists of a base body 5, for example in the form of a soft material seal with elastomer elements, the area of the seal surrounding the combustion chamber being provided with a metallic border 7. Such metallic enclosures can also be used on other sealing areas.
- capacitor coverings are embedded in the seal at a plurality of locations, which together form a capacitor, the capacitance of which is evaluated.
- the capacitor coatings are connected to the ends of an oscillating circuit, that the capacitance measurement is converted to a frequency measurement and that the influence of interference signals is significantly reduced.
- FIG. 1 two different forms of embedding such capacitor coverings are shown as an example in the left and right halves of the illustration separated by a dash-dotted center line.
- FIG. 1 Another embodiment is shown in the right half of FIG. 1, in which the metallic border 7, which is essentially C-shaped in cross section, is supplemented by a further capacitor covering 11 to form a capacitor, this capacitor covering being divided into the open end of the C-shaped skirt extends.
- the change in the capacitance of the capacitor formed by the elements 7, 11 is a function of the distance d between the cylinder head 1 and the engine block 4. Therefore, for example, by the movements caused by the combustion pressure in the combustion chamber 6 of the engine are measured by measuring this capacitance, which, in addition to determining the operating behavior of the seal, also enables conclusions to be drawn about the course of combustion in the combustion chamber 6.
- the measurement of the change in capacitance can also be used to determine misfires and combustion anomalies and enable a permanent diagnosis of the operating behavior of an internal combustion engine.
- This evaluation can be used, for example, in an electronic motor control.
- the capacity measurement can also be used in an advantageous manner when installing the seal to correctly select and check the tightening torques of the cylinder head screws (or other fastening means that pretension the two machine parts connected to one another via the seal).
- the dielectric of the capacitor is formed by the sealing material itself.
- connections a, b are shown in FIG. 1 as if they lead directly out of the motor.
- connections a, b are shown in FIG. 1 as if they lead directly out of the motor.
- inductance not shown
- the inductance can either be embedded in the seal 3 or arranged in the evaluation electronics itself.
- FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of a seal which consists of two outer material layers 21, 22 and a spring-elastic layer 23 arranged between them, which forms a bead on certain sealing areas in order to achieve predetermined prestressing effects.
- the resilient layer can in turn be embedded in a soft sealing material layer 20 or be arranged in an air gap. If the resilient layer consists of non-metallic material, capacitor layers 13, 14 can be arranged on this layer 23 on both sides of the bead, which capacitor forms a capacitor, the capacitance of which changes greatly when the bead is deformed. It should be pointed out that all the figures are not true to scale, but are shown in a highly distorted manner to improve clarity, so that, for example, the transverse Measurements of the bead and thus the distance between the capacitor coverings 13, 14 can be very small in practice.
- the third embodiment according to FIG. 3 differs from that according to FIG. 2 in that capacitor coverings 13, 14 and 15 are arranged on both sides of the spring-elastic layer 23 in the region of the bead.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 also have a spring-elastic insert layer 23 arranged between two outer sealing material layers 21, 22, but in which a half bead is arranged, in the area of which capacitor coatings 16, 17 and 18, 19 are in turn arranged.
- these capacitor coverings 16, 17 are arranged on opposite surfaces of the insert layer 23 in the region of the half bead, while in FIG. 5 one cover 18 is arranged on the insert layer 23, while the other capacitor cover 19 is spaced apart of the capacitor covering 18 is arranged on the inside of one of the outer sealing material layers 22.
- the insert layer 23 can also consist of metal.
- capacitor coatings embedded in the seal have been dealt with above, it is understandable that, in the same way, in addition to the capacitor coatings or in their place, flat coils made of thin metal sheet or other material with their main plane parallel to the plane of the seal and can be embedded in this, preferably outside the seal by a
- Capacity are added to a resonant circuit.
- the inductance changes when the machine parts approach the flat coil, and this change in inductance can in turn be evaluated.
