Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electromagnetic actuator with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • Electromagnetic actuators with these features are e.g. known from DE 3920976 A1. You will e.g. used to actuate valves of internal combustion engines. The armature is brought into an intermediate, in particular middle position by the two spring forces without excitation of an electromagnet. The excitation of one of the electromagnets brings the armature into the associated end division, whereby e.g. the valve is fully open. The control of the other electromagnet then closes the valve.
  • the invention is based on the object of providing an electromagnetic actuating device which manages with low power in operation.
  • the invention Compared to the prior art given by DE 35 46 513 C2, the invention has a lower thermal load on the windings and no special measures for cooling are necessary.
  • the system according to the invention requires a lower drive power and there is a greater acceleration of the armature, since the full magnetic force does not have to be reduced when switching over.
  • An actuating electromagnet is known from DE utility model 17 83 823, which has a rest position and a working position of the armature reached by switching on the actuating magnet. In this position, the armature is locked by latching elements and held in place despite the actuating magnet being switched off. An auxiliary magnet unlocks the lock upon a corresponding command and the armature returns to the rest position.
  • the locking system preferably has an electromagnetic Actuator, but other electrical actuators (eg piezoelectric) are also possible. It should preferably be used with one or two-pole electromagnets.

  • Fig. 2 shows the associated control program

  • Fig. 4 shows another embodiment
  • Fig. 5 shows the associated control program
  • Fig. 6 shows another embodiment
  • Fig. 12 is an underlying anchor
  • An armature 9 is located between the pole faces and is supported by means of two leaf springs 10 and 11.
  • An actuating rod 12 is rotatably attached to the anchor. They actuate, for example, a valve tappet 13 when the armature moves. This is pressed upwards by a spring 14 when the actuating rod 12 does so allows and pressed down by the actuating rod 12 against the force of the spring 14.
  • the locking system 15 In the end positions of the armature 9, the locking system 15 is used, the locking slide 16 of which is then pressed by the force of a spring 17 above or below the armature and holds it in place even when the electromagnet 1 or 2 is not energized. An electromagnet 18 can pull the locking slide 16 back when its winding is excited.
  • the operation of the actuator including the locking system 15 is explained. It is assumed that the armature 9 of the actuator rests on the pole faces 7 of the electromagnet 1 and the locking slide 16 holds the armature there. At Ti, the current i 18 of the locking magnet 18 is switched on. At T 2 the locking system 15 sets in motion with its locking slide 16 (s RM ) and reaches its end position at T 3 . This process is reflected in the current profile i 18 of the locking magnet. A predetermined time after T, the current i 2 of the electromagnet 2 is switched on at T 4 . This sets the armature 9 in motion at T 3 (s v ); the final position is reached at T 5 . At this point, the locking system 15 also snaps back in (s RM ).
  • the diagrams u and i 2 show T starting at the times . or T 6 alternatively usable excitation pulses for the electromagnets 1 and 2 respectively. These pulses serve to relieve the connection between the armature 9 and the locking slide 16 and to reduce the friction during the unlatching.
  • the excitation H or i 2 from T or T 6 is switched off when the locking system 15 has reached its end position (at T 3 or T 8 ). This point in time can be derived from the current sale i 18 of the locking system or can be obtained by means of an anchor travel sensor.
  • the diagram in FIG. 3 shows a slightly different control sequence.
  • the detent magnet 18 is energized until a position sensor (not shown) for the armature position signals the end position of the valve at T 5 (see Sig.).
  • the current is reduced to a lower holding current in order to become 0 at T 5 .
  • a holding current is applied to the magnet 2 to Tu from T 4 '.
  • the locking slide valve 16 now (without Tu) engages without force. The same thing happens at M 10 . This process offers less mechanical stress.
  • gate valve is still effective; the electromagnets 1, 2 and 18 are switched on
  • T 4 ' electromagnet 2 is switched to holding excitation until the locking slide 16 of the locking system no longer excites

  • the forces of the spring 34 and the torsion bar in its initial position are coordinated with one another in such a way that the two spring forces hold the armature in the center position shown without excitation of one of the electromagnets 21 and 22.

  • the valve is closed. If the valve 33 is to be opened, the winding 26 of the locking magnet 39 is first excited at T.

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'entraînement électromagnétique, dans lequel deux électroaimants opposés déplacent un induit disposé entre eux de façon à le faire passer d'une position intermédiaire, déterminée par l'action d'un ressort, à l'une ou l'autre position extrême. Les électroaimants se présentent sous la forme d'électroaimants à deux pôles. L'induit comporte un système d'arrêt mécanique à commande électrique, qui lui permet de rester dans les positions extrêmes sans consommer d'énergie.
