Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for actuating valves of a thermal engine of a motor vehicle.
- the invention relates more particularly to a device for actuating the valves of a heat engine of a motor vehicle, of the type in which each valve comprises a rod or tail which is integral with an actuator controlled by a control unit to cause the lifting and return of the associated valve, of the type in which each actuator is produced in the form of a cylinder which comprises a cylinder inside which the tail of the associated valve is free to slide coaxially in a sealed manner, and inside which is arranged a movable piston, integral with the free end of the valve stem, which delimits in the cylinder two opposite upper and lower hydraulic pressure chambers which are each supplied with an incompressible fluid and in each of which is alternately establishes a pressure of said fluid which is regulated by the control unit so that the pressure prevailing in a chambers is alternately higher / lower than that prevailing in the other chamber, to actuate the actuator and the valve alternately.
- valve lifting devices which for example comprise at least one camshaft, driven by the crankshaft, which acts directly or indirectly on the valve stems.
- valve lifting laws which are determined by the control unit as a function of the speed of rotation of the motor, so as to optimize the operation of the motor.
- the "camless" actuating devices comprise actuators which are of the electromagnetic or hydraulic type.
- An electromagnetic actuator essentially comprises two springs and a metal pallet moving between two coils.
- the valve When the valve is closed, the upper spring is kept compressed by the pallet which is drawn towards the upper coil which is excited by an electric current. No excitation is created by the lower coil and the lower spring is at rest.
- the vane When the flow of current in the upper coil is interrupted, the vane is released and causes the valve to open while compressing the lower spring.
- the actuating device is said to be "oscillating" insofar as the potential energy of the upper spring is transferred to the pallet in the form of kinetic energy and then transferred again in the form of potential energy to the lower spring.
- the valve is then kept open by establishing a current flow in the lower coil.
- the interruption of current in the lower coil causes the valve to close and the upper spring to be recompressed.
- the actuation devices comprising electromagnetic actuators have the disadvantage of requiring a high electrical power to ensure their operation.
- the only power that is consumed by the actuators of a "camless" motor vehicle can reach, for a four-cylinder engine with 16 valves, the value of 2 iloWatts at the maximum engine power level.
- a conventional motor vehicle consumes the same power to ensure the complete functioning of its electrical accessories.
- the supply voltage of the vehicle's electrical circuit which is suitable 12 Volts, should be increased to 42 Volts to reduce the size of the generator.
- the electromagnetic actuation devices prove to be unsuitable for motors operating at high rotational speeds.
- the electromagnetic actuators do not make it possible to carry out sufficient accelerations of the moving parts beyond the usual regimes of series motors.
- the document US-A-5,562,070 describes and represents a hydraulic actuating device which comprises a hydraulic pump which is capable of delivering oil under pressure in two opposite hydraulic chambers of a jack forming the actuator, so as to cause alternating movements of the actuator and the valve.
- a hydraulic actuating device which comprises a hydraulic pump which is capable of delivering oil under pressure in two opposite hydraulic chambers of a jack forming the actuator, so as to cause alternating movements of the actuator and the valve.
- the consecutive and opposite movements of the jack are obtained by alternately exerting on each of the opposite faces of the piston of the actuator a pressure which is greater than that exerted on the other face of the piston.
- such a hydraulic actuating device consumes a large amount of hydraulic energy, and this especially when the engine rotation speed increases and imposes high speeds of opening and closing of the valve. Therefore such a device provides only few advantages compared to a conventional distribution device.
- this device does not effectively control the speed of the valve at the end of the closing stroke, or at least it only allows the speed of the valve to be controlled at the cost of additional consumption of hydraulic energy. .
- Such a device therefore has either the disadvantage of risking degrading the seat of said valve and generating noise if the latter closes on its seat with too high a speed, or the disadvantage of significantly puncturing the power of the motor.
- Document US-A-5,572,961 describes a similar device in which the return of the valve is produced by means of a spring. A n such device is of the "oscillating" type previously described and makes it possible to significantly reduce the consumption of hydraulic energy necessary for the action of the valve.
- this device proves to be unsuitable for high engine rotation regs, and in particular for so-called "valve panic" regimes for which the spring, returning to resonance, risks being subjected to oscillations, which cannot be controlled. , of high amplitude.
- the invention proposes a hydraulic and oscillating device which is produced in the form of a hydropneumatic "camless" distribution system.
- each hydraulic pressure chamber of the jack is capable of being placed in communication with at least one independent hydraulic pressure source, called the actuation source, which is associated with the single said chamber and which comprises elastic return means of the fluid which are intended, during the movement of the valve in a determined direction, to recover the kinetic energy of the valve for its subsequent movement in the opposite direction.
- the actuation source which is associated with the single said chamber and which comprises elastic return means of the fluid which are intended, during the movement of the valve in a determined direction, to recover the kinetic energy of the valve for its subsequent movement in the opposite direction.
- the means for returning the fluid are pneumatic.
- the reminders are mechanical.
- At least one of the hydraulic chambers is capable of being placed in communication with an additional source, known as a discharge source, in which the hydraulic fluid is subjected to a reduced pressure
- control unit is capable of regulating the pressures prevailing in the hydraulic pressure chambers of the actuator by alternately controlling an actuating solenoid valve, which is interposed between one of the hydraulic pressure chambers and its associated actuating source, and a discharging solenoid valve which is interposed between the said hydraulic pressure chamber and the discharging source,
- each actuation source consists of a hydropneumatic accumulator which includes an envelope inside which a membrane defines a return chamber and an actuation chamber, the return chamber being isolated and filled with a compressible gas , and the actuation chamber being connected to the corresponding upper / lower chamber of the associated jack and filled with the incompressible fluid,
- the discharge source comprises a reservoir which is placed in communication with a crankcase of the engine in which a reduced pressure prevails,
- the upper pressure chamber of the jack is capable of being placed in communication with a first hydropneumatic accumulator or with the discharge source by means of the respective actuation and discharge electrovalves, and the lower pressure chamber. of the cylinder communicating directly with a second hydropneumatic actuating accumulator,
- a non-return valve is interposed between the upper chamber of the jack and the first hydro-pneumatic accumulator
- Each actuating chamber of the hydropneumatic accumulators is connected to a pressure maintenance device which is capable of maintaining it at a set pressure as long as the valve is closed.
- the invention also provides a control method for a device of the type described above, characterized in that:
- the unit orders the closing of the actuating solenoid valve and the opening of the discharge solenoid valve, the first hydropneumatic accumulator being maintained by the pressure device at a first set pressure and the second hydropneumatic accumulator being maintained at a second set pressure, the first set pressure being greater than the second set pressure and the second set pressure being greater than the reduced pressure of the crankcase, then
- the unit controls the closing of the discharge solenoid valve and the opening of the actuating solenoid valve, then
- the unit controls the closing of the actuating solenoid valve, then - in a fourth step of completely closing the valve, the unit controls the opening of the solenoid valve from discharge to the first rest stage.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a device according to the invention shown in the rest position of the valve
- FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the device of Figure 1 shown in the valve lift position
- FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the device of fig ure 1 shown in the return position of the valve.
- FIG. 1 shows the assembly of a device 10 for actuating a valve 12 of a thermal engine of a motor vehicle produced in accordance with the invention.
- each valve 12 is formed of a tulip 14 and a rod or tail 16 which is integral with the tulip 14.
- the tail 16 is integral with an actuator 1 8 which is controlled by a unit of control, for example electronic (not shown), to cause the valve 12 to be lifted and returned to its seat (not shown).
- the actuator 1 8 is real ized in the form of a jack 20 which comprises a cylinder 22 inside which the stem 16 of the associated valve 12 is free to slide coaxially in leaktight manner, and at l 'interior of which is arranged a movable piston 24, integral with the free end 26 of the valve stem 12.
- the piston 24 delimits in the cylinder 22 two opposite hydraulic pressure chambers which are supplied with an incompressible hydraulic fluid FH I , for example oil.
- FH I incompressible hydraulic fluid
- the piston 24 more particularly delimits in the cylinder re 22 an upper pressure chamber 28 and a lower pressure chamber 30.
- each chamber 28 or 30 of hydraulic pressure of the jack 22 is capable of being placed in communication with at least one source of independent hydraulic pressure, called the actuation source, which is associated with the only said chamber 28 or 30 and which comprises pneumatic means for elastic return of the fluid FHI which are intended, during the movement of the valve 12 in a determined direction, to recover the kinetic energy of the valve 12 for movement inward in the opposite direction.
- the actuation source which is associated with the only said chamber 28 or 30 and which comprises pneumatic means for elastic return of the fluid FHI which are intended, during the movement of the valve 12 in a determined direction, to recover the kinetic energy of the valve 12 for movement inward in the opposite direction.
- the device 10 preferably comprises two sources 32 and 34 for actuation.
- This arrangement is not limitative of the invention and the device 10 could comprise more than one actuation source associated with each of the pressure chambers 28 or 30 of the jack 12.
- a conventional device for actuating the valves by camshaft if it has the disadvantage of only allowing to benefit from a valve lifting law, on the other hand makes it possible to effectively control the speed closing the valve.
- By giving the cams a high curvature profile in the area where they are supposed to control the closing of the valve it is possible to impose a reduced speed of the valve when approaching its seat, which reduces the risks of wear of this. seat and therefore increases the longevity of the device.
- the device according to the invention overcomes this drawback ient insofar as, when approaching its positions actuation extremes, the valve 12 is driven at a practically zero speed which can be controlled by a hydraulic pressure drop upstream of the EVD solenoid valve. This pressure drop may be a function of the position of the valve.
- a first actuation source integrally transfers its potential energy to the valve 12 in the form of kinetic energy, which at the end of its travel is in turn transferred under form of potential energy to a second source of actuation when the valve 12 reaches its full opening.
- the second actuation source integrally transfers its potential energy to the valve 12 in the form of kinetic energy which, at the end of its travel, is in turn transferred in the form of potential energy at the first actuation source when the valve 12 closes.
- the kinetic energy of the valve 12 being almost zero when it is closed, and also being a multiple of the square of the speed, the speed of the valve 12 is therefore also almost zero.
- Another advantage of the device according to the invention is that it consumes little hydraulic energy.
- At least one of the hydraulic chambers 28 or 30 is capable of being placed in communication with an additional source 36 known as a source of discharge, in which the hydraulic fluid FH I is subjected to a reduced pressure.
- the hydraulic fluid is capable of being brought to a reduced pressure in one of the hydraulic pressure chambers so as to ensure the stability of the valve 12 in its extreme position associated with the establishment of a reduced pressure in said bedroom.
- the regulation of the pressures P28, P30, which are exerted on each of the opposite faces of the piston 24 to cause its upward or downward movements, is entirely managed by the control unit.
- control unit is capable of regulating the pressures P 23 , P 3 0 prevailing in the hydraulic pressure chambers 28 and 30 of the jack 20 by alternately controlling an EVA actuating solenoid valve which is interposed between one of the hydraulic pressure chambers 28 or 30 and its associated actuation source 32 or 34, and an EVD discharge valve which is interposed between the said hydraulic pressure chamber 28 or 30 and the source discharge 36.
- each actuation source 32 or 34 consists of a hydropneumatic accumulator 32 or 34 which comprises an envelope 38, 40 inside which a membrane 42, 44 delimits a return chamber 46, 48 and an actuation chamber 50, 52, the return chamber 46, 48 being isolated and filled with a compressible gas GC, and the actuation chamber 50, 52 being connected to the upper chamber 28 or to the corresponding lower chamber 30 of the associated jack 12 and filled with the incompressible fluid FH I.
- the compressible gas GC which is contained in the return chambers 46 and 48 of the hydraulic accumulators 32 and 34 makes it possible to exert an elastic return action on the hydraulic fluid FH I contained in the chambers actuation 50 and 52 and therefore constitutes a pneumatic spring which allows the kinetic energy of the valve 12 to be stored.
- the device 10 behaves like an oscillating device with electromechanical actuators, without having the drawbacks thereof; is to say without presenting the disadvantages of important inertia.
- the discharge source 36 includes a reservoir 54 which is placed in communication with a casing (not shown) of the engine in which there is reduced pressure "Pr".
- the discharge source 36 can be connected either to one or the other of the upper chambers 28 or
- the rest position of the valve 12 that is to say in its position for which the hydraulic pressure in one of the chambers of the actuator 20 is reduced, corresponds to its closed position to guarantee perfect sealing of the tulip 14 of the valve 12 on its seat.
- the upper pressure chamber 28 of the jack 20 is capable of being placed in communication with the first hydropneumatic accumulator 32 for actuation or with the discharge source 36 by means of the respective actuation solenoid valves. EVA and EVD discharge, and the lower pressure chamber 30 of the jack 20 communicates directly with the second hydropneumatic accumulator 34.
- a non-return valve 56 can be interposed between the upper chamber 28 of the jack 20 and the first hydropneumatic accumulator 32.
- each actuating chamber 50 or 52 of the hydropneumatic accumulators 32 or 34 is connected to a pressure maintenance device (not shown) which is capable of to maintain this chamber at a respective set pressure Pc 32 and Pc 34 as long as the valve 12 is closed.
- This device makes it possible in particular to compensate for the hydraulic energy losses undergone by the fluid during the movement of the valve 12, these losses possibly being due in particular to the friction of the valve stem 12 in the cylinder 22, to the friction of the piston 24 in the cylinder , and to losses of the "fluid friction" type generated by the pressure forces exerted within the fluid FHI.
- the invention also proposes a control method for ensuring the operation of the device 10 previously described.
- the unit controls the closing of the actuating solenoid valve EVA and the opening of the non-discharge EVD solenoid valve, the first hydropneumatic accumulator. 32 being maintained by the pressure device at a first set pressure Pc 32 and the second hydropneumatic accumulator 34 being maintained at a second set pressure Pc 3 , the first set pressure Pc 32 being greater than the second set pressure Pc 3 and the second reference pressure Pc 34 being greater than the reduced pressure "Pr" of the crankcase.
- the valve 12 is therefore at rest and closed since the pressure P 28 which prevails in the upper chamber 28 of the jack 22 is equal to the reduced pressure "Pr" of the casing and is therefore less than the set pressure Pc 32 which prevails in the lower chamber of the jack.
- the device is said to be “charged”, since the actuation chamber 50 of the accumulator 32 is ready, notwithstanding the opening of the EVA solenoid valve, to establish the set pressure Pc 32 in the upper chamber 28 of the jack.
- a second step of lifting valve 1 2 the unit controls the closing of the discharge solenoid valve EVD and the opening of the actuating solenoid valve EVA.
- Pressure P 28 equal to the set pressure Pc 32 , which now prevails in the upper chamber 28 being greater than the set pressure Pc 34 which prevails in the lower chamber 30 of the jack, the result of the pressure forces which exert on the piston 24 causes its displacement downward in the direction of the opening of the valve 12.
- valve 12 As the valve 12 opens, its movement causes the volume of the upper chamber 28 to increase, therefore also the expansion of the gas GC contained in the return chamber 46 of the accumulator 32, and the reduction of the volume of the lower chamber 30, and therefore also the compression of the gas GC contained in the return chamber 48 of the accumulator 34.
- the acceleration of the valve 12 decreases until it becomes zero when the pressures prevailing in the two return chambers 46 and 48 are balanced. This position of the valve 12 corresponds to a maximum kinetic energy stored by the valve 12 and therefore at its highest speed. Then, the movement of the valve 12 continuing, the deceleration of the valve 12 continues until it arrives at zero speed at its fully open position.
- the hydraulic fluid FH I is now substantially at the first set pressure Pc 32 in the lower chamber 30 of the jack, and it is substantially at the second set pressure Pc 34 in the upper chamber 30 of the jack .
- the unit then controls the closing of the EVA solenoid valve.
- the valve 12 then begins its closing movement when the increase in pressure P 28 in the upper chamber 28 is sufficient.
- the establishment of the pressure threshold of the latter makes it possible to determine a dead time of valve lift at full opening, which can possibly be reduced to a neg ligatable value. if the check valve is lightly tared.
- valve 12 The characteristics of the closing movement of the valve 12 are exactly similar to those of its opening movement. It should be noted that, as a result, the valve 12 closes on its seat with practically zero speed, and therefore does not cause wear of the seat, which considerably increases the longevity of the engine considered.
- a fourth step of completely closing the valve 12 which occurs when the valve 12 is closed again, the unit controls the opening of the EVD solenoid valve to reduce the residual pressure P 28 in the upper chamber 28 of the cylinder.
- the device 10 is then brought back, as soon as the pressures are stabilized, to the configuration of the first resting step of the valve 12.
- the valve 12 closes automatically after a determined period of time associated with the triggering threshold of this valve. It should be noted, as a variant, that it is possible, between the second and third stages, to control this period of time, that is to say to block for a time the valve 12 in the open position by removing the non-return valve 56.
- This configuration allows, for example in the case for which the device is intended to apply to an exhaust valve 12, to keep the valve 12 open to favor, owing to the continuation of the stroke of the engine piston towards bottom dead center, a re-aspiration of the burnt gases, which corresponds to well-known exhaust gas recirculation process called EGR (Exhaust Gas Recycling).
- This configuration is particularly applicable in the case of a series vehicle engine for which a minimum consumption is sought.
- the return of the FHI fluid in the actuation chamber 50 of the accumulator 50 is no longer ensured by the non-return valve 56 but by the EVA solenoid valve.
- the control unit can control, during the third step, the reopening of the EVA actuation solenoid valve through which the hydraulic fluid circulates instead of circulating, as is the case in the particular embodiment of the invention, by the non-return valve 56.
- This delay time then corresponds to the time during which the valve 12 is blocked in the open position.
- the invention therefore makes it possible to carry out pneumatic control of the valves 12 of a series heat engine or of an engine operating at high speed which is reliable, inexpensive, and consumes little energy from the engine.
