Definitions
- the object of the invention is to integrate an actuating mechanism into an existing control valve, which on the one hand enables a small relative overlap between the control edges P-A and A-T of a control valve during control operation and on the other hand separates the A connection from the T connection during standstill (failsafe case).
- an A-T control edge In order to prevent the injection cylinder from retracting, an A-T control edge must be covered from the consumer, e.g. the injection unit, in order to prevent a fluid volume flow to the tank. This prevents external forces acting on the axis from causing it to move in an unwanted manner. Valves in slide design always have a gap leakage due to their nature.
- the failsafe case represents a safe machine state in which the control valve is not in active electronic control - it is usually switched off without current and voltage, the control spool is not in active position control.
- the control spool is brought into an end position or defined position via mechanical failsafe mechanisms, e.g. springs and/or end stops, and switching valves.
- control slide is operated with a small overlap or even a Zero cut of the control edges PA and AT, which enables precise control, but results in a retracting drift movement of the axis of an injection machine in the failsafe case (since the AT control edge then already shows an undercoverage), or the control slide is manufactured with covered control edges, e.g. the PA and AT control edges, which results in imprecise control, but ensures a standstill or a sufficiently small movement of the axis when at a standstill (failsafe case).
- Covered control spools are known which are electronically compensated in active control, so-called deadband compensation, but which reaches its limits dynamically.
- deadband compensation a measure of the physical overlap of the control edges must always be passed through, which, depending on the size of the overlap on the control spool (deadband to be passed through) and the dynamics of the pilot valve, can lead to losses in the control result, since passing through the covered area takes a certain amount of time.
- an individual failsafe position can be set for each of the separate control valves, as required by the application - the disadvantage of this solution is that two or more control valves are required, which makes the solution expensive.
- the control technology is more complex.
- a control valve with a switchable control edge can comprise a valve body and an end cap with an actuating piston.
- the valve body can be designed with a first control slide and at least one first and second control connection and at least one control edge.
- the first control slide can have an axial bore and a second control slide can be designed in the axial bore.
- a control valve can be a valve, in particular a hydraulic valve, which influences the pressure fluid via the flow path, direction and amount of the volume flow or the fluid pressure. According to the disclosure, it is a directional valve with the structure and design of the active surface (sealing surface) of a slide valve with the active movement of a longitudinal valve.
- a control edge can be a movable edge in a valve that regulates the flow of liquids or gases between the connections on the valve. It is actuated by a force, e.g. a lever or an electric and/or pneumatic drive, and acts by opening or closing a flow channel between two control connections in the valve body.
- the movable edge is a surface of the first and/or second control slide that can cover an opening of a flow channel of one and/or more control connections of the valve body and thereby partially or completely opens and/or blocks a passage or a flow path between control connections.
- valve body and the control slides form coordinated control edges that can be moved coaxially to one another, so that when the respective openings of the control connections in the valve body are arranged opposite one another, a flow path is created and/or throttling occurs.
- a control valve according to the disclosure can comprise at least three control edges.
- a first control edge can be a control edge known from hydraulically pilot-operated 4/3-way valves in piston-type longitudinal slide design, which regulates the flow between the control ports A and T.
- a first control edge can be a first AT control edge, which can also be referred to as A-Tl control edge.
- a second control edge may be a novel control edge according to the disclosure that, in addition to the first control edge, controls flow between control ports A and T.
- the second control edge may be a second A-T control edge, which may also be referred to as an A-T2 control edge.
- the third control edge corresponds to a first control edge and can be controlled by an axial displacement of the first control slide in such a way that the third control edge partially or completely opens the one passage between the control connections P and A and/or partially or completely closes it accordingly. This allows the flow between the two control connections P and A to be controlled and regulated.
- a third control edge can also be referred to as a P-A control edge.
- a fourth control edge may be a control edge that controls the flow between the control ports P and B.
- the fourth control edge may be referred to as the P-B control edge.
- a fifth control edge may be a control edge that controls the flow between the control ports B and T.
- the fifth control edge may be referred to as the B-T control edge.
- a control edge can be switchable.
- a switchable control edge can open and/or close the flow paths between the control connections in the valve body by actuating and adjusting the first and/or second control slide. According to the disclosure, this can be done by an electric, pneumatic or hydraulic and/or piezoelectric or magnetostrictive drive.
- a switchable control edge can enable a quick response to changes in the system and precise control of the flow of liquids or gases by being able to be precisely switched from one position to another and enabling a zero cut between the control edges P-A and A-T in the active position.
- a control connection of a control valve according to the disclosure can be a connection in the valve body.
- the control connection can open into an annular channel in the valve body.
- the line of a control valve can open into an annular channel in the valve body.
- a first control port can be a T-control port.
- a second control port can be an A-control port.
- a third control port can be a P-control port.
- a fourth control port can be a B-control port.
- a B-side T-ring channel can be a space that is connected to the first control port via a channel, in particular a tank bridge, in the longitudinal section of the valve body, to the right of the B-control port. This channel can be a B-side T-channel.
- a first and a second control spool according to the disclosure can be a hydraulic control spool.
- the control spools can be used in directional valves of the slide valve type.
- the second control spool can be formed within the first control spool according to the disclosure.
- the actuation direction of the two control spools is coaxial along their longitudinal axes, so that the respective control edges of the control spools cover the openings of the control connections in the valve body completely, partially and/or not at all, depending on the position of the displaced control spool.
- the first and second control slides can each comprise at least two piston shoulders on the piston shaft, which form the control edges on the control slide.
- the first control slide can form a first and second piston shoulder.
- the first control slide can also form a third piston shoulder.
- the first control slide can form a fourth piston shoulder.
- the second control slide can also form a first piston and a second piston shoulder.
- the piston shoulders can cover control connection openings in the valve body and thus regulate the flow between the control connections.
- the piston shoulders of the control slides can be arranged in a connection area of the control connections.
- a piston shoulder of a control slide which covers a control connection opening depending on the setting, can form a control edge with this opening in the valve body.
- An axial bore is a bore in the valve body and in the first control spool along a longitudinal axis of the first control spool, such that the first control spool is slidably received in the bore of the valve body and the second control spool is slidably received in the bore of the first control spool.
- the bore can be centered in the control spool.
- the control valve with switchable control edge can have an end cap with actuating piston.
- the actuating piston can be designed such that it engages in the axial bore and is further designed such that it displaces the second control slide in the axial bore of the first control slide.
- the second control edge can lead to the disclosed control valve combining the functionality of two valves.
- the failsafe valves when the failsafe valves are activated, a zero-cut behavior and thus good controllability of the axis connected to the valve can be ensured; on the other hand, when the failsafe valves are deactivated, the leakage can be reduced to a minimum that can correspond to the gap leakage.
- a second (seat) valve connected in series can become superfluous. This can lead to cost, service/maintenance and installation space savings. In addition, this component does not have to be kept as a spare part.
- a second (seat) valve that is otherwise usually connected in series (downstream/) and can cause a (continuous) pressure loss can be omitted.
- a control valve system with the control valve according to the disclosure can be more energy efficient than the combination of control valve and series-connected (seat) valve known from the prior art.
- a connecting element can be formed between the actuating piston and the second control slide. This allows axial and angular misalignments to be compensated.
- a connecting element can comprise a compensating rod and at least two lock nuts.
- a first lock nut can be locked against the second control slide.
- a second lock nut can be secured against an actuating piston.
- the second lock nut can be designed as a mechanical stop and can be hardened.
- the connecting element between the actuating piston and second control slide can fulfill a coupling function and therefore be a coupling element.
- valve body and the first control slide of the control valve can form a first (A-T1) and a second control edge (A-T2).
- A-T1 a first
- A-T2 a second control edge
- A-T2 a third control edge
- P- / a third control edge
- the first control edge (A-Tl) can have sufficient overlap.
- the second control slide can also be designed in such a way that it controls the second control edge (A-T2) independently of the first control slide, i.e. opens or closes it.
- a precise actuating mechanism can thus be integrated into the control valve by means of the second control edge (A-T2).
- A-T2 the second control edge
- a flow path from one control connection to the next control connection can be prevented by sufficiently covering the first control edge (A-T1), thus preventing an incoming drift movement of an axis, for example of an injection molding machine.
- a flow path can be formed between at least two control connections and can be influenced by a control edge in such a way that the flow rate can be regulated.
- an overlap can be a positive overlap, a zero overlap or a negative overlap.
- a positive overlap can describe the control edge position of a piston shoulder of the first and/or second control slide, the length of which is greater than the width of the opening of the annular channel of the control connections in the housing of the valve body.
- the overlap refers to the total stroke of the first or second control spool in the middle position or end position and can be specified in percent [%].
- the zero overlap can be characterized by the flush position of the control edges of the piston shoulders of the two control slides and the ring channels of the control connections in the housing of the valve body.
- the zero overlap of control edges can achieve very short actuation or reaction times on the actuator connected to the control valve, since the opening cross-section of the ring channel of the respective control connections in the valve body is released without delay and only small actuation paths are required for control and regulation.
- the negative overlap can describe the control edge length of a piston shoulder of the respective control slide, the length of which is smaller than the width of the ring channel of the control connections in the housing of the valve body.
- a negative overlap can be an under-coverage.
- a low contact can occur if the contact of a single control edge is between 0% and 5%.
- a low contact of 0% can be a zero cut.
- a relative coverage can be the ratio between two coverages. For example, a sum is formed from the coverage of one control edge and the coverage of another control edge. This sum can result in a relative coverage.
- the relative overlap may be a small relative overlap if the sum is between 0% and 10%.
- the second control edge (A-T2) may form such a small relative overlap with the third control edge (P-A).
- a large overlap of a single control edge can be 10% or more.
- a sufficient overlap and/or a sufficiently large overlap can be between 10% and 20%.
- the first control edge (A-Tl) can have such a large overlap and/or sufficient overlap.
- the third control edge (P- A) can also have a large overlap.
- a large and/or sufficiently large overlap ensures that an axis/actuator, e.g. an injection unit, stops or moves sufficiently small in the event of a failsafe.
- the P-A control edge (third control edge) can have a large overlap.
- a negative overlap and/or undercoverage of an individual control edge is less than 0%.
- the fifth control edge (B-T control edge) can have such an undercoverage.
- the second control edge (A-T2 control edge) can have a recessed ring channel.
- the recessed ring channel can be incorporated into the piston shoulder.
- the second control edge can instead and/or additionally have one or more control windows distributed over the circumference.
- the puncture-shaped ring channel and the/or the control windows are each formed at the inlet and outlet of a transverse bore of the first control slide. Both can have different shapes.
- the puncture-shaped ring channel can have a rectangular cross-section or a cross-section with rounded corners at the base.
- these can also have different cross-sectional shapes, e.g. rectangular, triangular, round or T-shaped.
- the ring channel or the control window(s) can be manufactured to be axially precisely adapted to the third control edge (A-T2) in the valve body for specific applications. in particular on the third control edge (PA).
- the second control edge (A-T2) can separate the control connection A from the control connection T in the failsafe case, since the second control edge (which can be switched via the inner second control slide) and the first control edge (A-Tl) can be brought into a position together so that, viewed from the outside, sufficient overlap can be achieved at the first (A-Tl), second (A-T2) and third (PA) to ensure standstill or a sufficiently small movement of the axis.
- the annular groove or the control window(s) of the second control edge (A-T2) can be connected to the axial bore in the first control slide via at least one first transverse bore.
- the first transverse bore can be formed in a first piston shoulder of several piston sets of the first control slide.
- the first piston shoulder can have several first transverse bores.
- the first transverse bore(s) can be formed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the axial bore of the first control slide.
- the first piston shoulder of the first control slide is formed furthest to the left.
- the second control edge (A-T2) can be arranged in the first piston shoulder.
- the second control edge (A-T2) in the first piston shoulder can be formed by the first cross bore(s).
- the first cross bore(s) can thus result in the disclosed control valve combining the functionality of two valves.
- the failsafe valves when the failsafe valves are activated, a zero-cut behavior and thus good controllability of the axis connected to the valve can be ensured; on the other hand, when the failsafe valves are deactivated, the leakage can be reduced to a minimum that can correspond to the gap leakage.
- a second (seat) valve connected in series can become superfluous. This can lead to cost, service/maintenance and installation space savings. In addition, this component does not have to be kept as a spare part.
- a second (seat) valve that is usually connected in series (downstream/downstream) and can cause a pressure loss or constant pressure loss can be omitted.
- a control valve system with the control valve according to the disclosure can be more energy efficient than the combination of control valve and series-connected (seat) valve known from the prior art.
- the first control slide can form at least one second transverse bore in the connection area of a second control connection (A) of the valve body.
- the at least a second transverse bore must be connected to the axial bore of the first control slide.
- connection area can be a part of the valve body through which liquids or gases can flow in/out.
- Connection areas can be formed on the outside of the valve body and have a defined connection diameter to enable a firm connection to control blocks, pipes, containers or other system components.
- the connections can have various forms, including threads, flanges or plug connections.
- the connection area can be designed such that the connection area extends into the valve body.
- the second control edge (A-T2) in the first piston shoulder of the first control slide being connected to the second transverse bore via the axial bore.
- the second transverse bore can represent a flow inlet in a second piston shoulder of the first control slide, but can also alternatively form another control edge to the second control slide (which is part of an internal system of the first control slide).
- This alternative additional control edge can adjust the flow between the control connections A and T via the second control edge (A-T2).
- the actuating piston can be designed to control a flow path via the second control edge (A-T2) by means of the second control slide.
- the expression "via the second control edge” can mean that the flow path from one control port to another control port is released.
- the axial displacement of the first and/or second control spool can cause the corresponding control edge to release the flow path between two control ports and thus regulate the flow rate.
- the control port A can be separated from the control port T by the first control edge (AT) and the third control edge (PA) achieving a sufficiently large overlap and thus an axis standstill or a sufficiently small axis movement can be ensured.
- the second control spool can have two surfaces with equal effective areas.
- the surfaces can be ring-shaped or circular.
- the surfaces can each be formed on a piston shoulder of the second control slide.
- a load pressure applied to the second control connection (A) cannot therefore lead to the second control slide being actuated unintentionally. This in turn can enable precise control of the control valve according to the disclosure.
- the second control connection (A) can be separated from the first control connection (T) by the first control edge (A-Tl) and the second control edge (P-A) achieving a sufficiently large overlap and thus an axis standstill or a sufficiently small axis movement can be ensured in the failsafe case.
- the axial bore of the first spool may include a chamber with an internal compression spring.
- the chamber can be formed in the longitudinal section of the valve body as an extension of the right end of the axial bore.
- a rear part of the axial bore can comprise the chamber.
- the chamber can be arranged in the first control slide at a height between a second and third piston shoulder of the first control slide.
- the chamber can be formed at the height of the third port (P).
- control port A can be separated from the control port T by the first control edge (A-Tl) and the second control edge (P-A) achieving a sufficiently large overlap and thus an axis standstill or a sufficiently small axis movement can be ensured.
- an axial relief bore can be formed coaxially to the axial bore.
- the first control slide can have at least one third transverse bore in the region of the B-side T-channel, which is connected to the axial relief bore.
- the B-side T-channel and the third transverse bore can form a leakage flow path.
- the third transverse bore according to the disclosure may be formed perpendicular to the axial relief bore.
- the third transverse bore may drain the leakage from the internal system (the chamber of the axial bore of the first spool valve). This can enable precise control and activation of the control valve and, in addition, when the valve is at a standstill (failsafe case), a flow from one control port (A) to the next control port (T) can be prevented by sufficiently covering the first control edge (A-Tl). Together with the third control edge (PA) covered in the failsafe case, this can ensure that the axis comes to a standstill or that the axis movement is sufficiently small.
- the second control slide has a slot on its right-hand face. This slot can drain off leakage.
- the right end face may be formed in a second end portion of the second spool.
- a left end face of the second spool may be formed in a first end portion of the second spool.
- the left end face and the right end face may be formed at opposite end portions of the second spool.
- the slot When blocked, the slot can allow leakage from the chamber to be discharged from the axial bore. This prevents pressure from building up in the chamber of the first control slide via leakage volume flows and opening the second control slide unintentionally.
- the disclosed control valve can thus enable a precise actuating mechanism and, in the event of a failsafe, separate the second control connection (A) from the first control connection (T). In this case, the leakage can be discharged via the slot and an axis standstill can still be guaranteed.
- the end cap may include a valve and a spring chamber.
- the spring chamber may include a compression spring and a stop.
- the spring chamber and the end cap can be attached to a first end of the valve body on the left side in a longitudinal section of the valve body.
- the end cap and the spring chamber can also be attached to the right side of the valve body of the disclosed control valve.
- the end cap can enable a precise adjustment mechanism in the disclosed control valve by means of the actuating piston. Due to the precise control, in the failsafe case the second control connection (A) can be separated from the first control connection (T) by the first control edge (A-Tl) and the third control edge (PA) forming a sufficient overlap to ensure an axis standstill or a sufficiently small axis movement.
- the spring chamber of the disclosure can be connected to the valve body via a relief bore.
- the relief hole can lead out of the spring chamber and can end at the valve body, in which the relief hole can continue. This can form a complete passage and allows a flow path towards a tank via the T-control connection.
- the spring chamber can thus be constantly relieved in the direction of the tank and precise control of the control valve can be ensured.
- the control valve of the disclosure can be used as an injection control valve for controlling an injection unit of an injection molding machine.
- a control valve system may include a pilot valve, one or two failsafe valves, and a control valve of the disclosure.
- a failsafe valve may be a safety valve.
- the advantage is that both in normal operation a small relative overlap between the second (A-T2) and third (P-A) control edge is enabled, which leads to precise control and, on the other hand, in the failsafe case the A connection is separated from the T connection, i.e. the first control edge (A-Tl) and third control edge (P-A) have sufficient overlap, thus enabling a safe machine state of the control valve system in the failsafe case.
- the control valve system can ensure precise controllability of the axis of the injection molding machine when the failsafe valves are activated.
- the control valve system can reduce leakage to a minimum that can correspond to the gap leakage and ensure an axis standstill or a sufficiently small axis movement in the failsafe case.
- the control valve system with the control valve according to the disclosure can be more energy efficient than the control valves known from the prior art.

- Figure 1 shows the schematic structure of a pilot-operated 4/3-way control valve known in the prior art. It consists of a valve body 1, also known as the main stage, an optional fail-safe valve 2, also known as a safety valve, and a pilot valve 3.
- a movable control slide 4 is housed in the valve body 1.
- the control slide 4 in Figure 1 forms four piston shoulders. A first piston shoulder 31, a second piston shoulder 32, a third piston shoulder 33 and a fourth piston shoulder 34.
- the valve body 1 and the piston shoulders 31, 32, 33, 34 of the control slide 4 in Figure 1 have coordinated control edges, for example the control edges 5 and 6 between the control connections T and A.
- the valve body 1 forms a fixed control edge 5 and the second piston shoulder 32 of the control slide 4 forms a movable control edge 6, since the control slide is arranged so as to be displaceable in the valve body 1.
- the second piston shoulder 32 opens up a flow path between the control connections T and A and between A and P.
- control slide 4 When the fail-safe valve 2 is switched off, the control slide 4 is pressed into a predetermined central position by compression springs 7 and a mechanical stop, shown in Figure 1 by adjustable disks 8 in the control chambers 12, 13, and closes the corresponding control connections 9 (T, A, P, B) of the valve body 1 with the piston projections 31 -34.
- the valve body 1 has the following control connections 9:
- Attached to the left side of the valve body 1 is an end cap with electronics for controlling the control chambers 12 and 13.
- the end cap includes a position measuring system 10 and a valve electronics 11.
- the position of the control slide 4 is measured by means of the position measuring system 10 and controlled by a valve electronics 11.
- the left control chamber 12 and the right control chamber 13 of the valve body 1 are subjected to volume flow and pressure via the pilot valve 3.
- the control slide 4 is deflected to the left or right from the center position and thus releases the corresponding flow paths P-A and B-T or P-B and A-T.
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of an injection unit 15 with a control valve, which is an injection control valve 14.
- the control valve 14 controls the injection unit 15 of an injection molding machine. If the protective grille of the machine is opened, the failsafe case occurs and the control valve must be brought into a safe state. The injection cylinder 16 should under no circumstances move the injection unit 15 forwards and thereby extend it. This means that the working connection of the control valve, which is connected to the cylinder chamber/surface 17 of the injection cylinder 16, which enables the injection movement, must under no circumstances be subjected to pressure.
- Injection control valves are often designed in such a way that they control/regulate the volume flow or pressure of the piston side of the injection cylinder, which is connected, for example, to the A control connection 502 of the control valve 1.
- An injection cycle is divided into the following phases and is shown as an example in the volume flow signal function in Figure 3:
- control slide 4 in Figure 1 The geometry of the control slide 4 in Figure 1, i.e. the overlap of the individual control edges and the resulting volume flow signal function, is adapted for each application.
- FIG. 4 shows a control slide 4 of the state of the art in control operation with zero intersection PI of the control edges 20, 21, which enables good controllability.
- Figure 5 shows the same control slide 4 of the state of the art, but in a failsafe position.
- the PA control edge 20 between the P and A control connections 502, 503 together with the AT control edge 21 between the A and T control connections 502, 501 have a small relative overlap.
- the control edges 20, 21 in Figure 4 are designed with a zero cut PI, which is why the small relative overlap from the two zero cuts from the control edge 20, 21 in turn results in a zero cut.
- the BT control edge 22 between the B control connection and the B-side T-channel 505 is largely under-covered, see P3 in Figures 3, 4 and the PB control edge 23 between the P and B control connections 503, 504 is largely over-covered, see also P2 in Figures 3, 4.
- the y-axis in Figure 3 shows the volume flow Q in liters per minute (Q [l/min]), while the x-axis represents the control slide stroke S, which corresponds to the distance covered by the control slide 4 from Figure 1 in percent.
- -100% means a negative end position, which corresponds to a maximum displacement of the control slide 4 to the right in the valve body 1. Accordingly, a positive end position +100% means a maximum deflection of the control slide 4 to the left in the valve body 1. In the respective maximum deflection, for example, stops at the corresponding end prevent further deflection of the control slide 4.
- Figure 3 also shows the control slide stroke S and thus the overlap of the control edges 20, 21, 22, 23, in which the characteristic curves 201, 211, 221, 231 represent the volume flow, in particular during the failsafe case of a control valve in the prior art.
- the control slide 4 In the failsafe position 25 during the failsafe case, the control slide 4 assumes a defined spring-centered position when the failsafe valve 2, which is arranged between the pilot valve 3 and the valve body 1 in Figure 1, is switched off.
- This failsafe position of the control slide 4 is marked in Figure 3 by a dashed line 25 and is illustrated schematically in Figure 5.
- the control slide 4 is adjusted via corresponding adjustable mechanical stops 8 in the control chambers 12, 13 in Figure 1 so that the PA control edge 20 of the control slide 4 in Figure 3 assumes a covered position, see intersection point P5 on the x-axis and the failsafe position 25 shown in dashed lines in Figure 3.
- the AT control edge 21 consequently assumes a covered position relative to the valve body 1 (due to the very low relative overlap or the zero intersection of the PA and AT control edges 20, 21 from Figure 4), see intersection point P4 of the volume flow signal function 211 with the failsafe position 25 in Figure 3 and Figure 5.
- the BT control edge 22 between the B control connection and the B-side T-channel 505 is still covered, see P7 in Figures 3, 5 and the P- B control edge 23 between the P and B control terminals 503, 504 are still covered, see also P6 in Figure 3, 5
- the piston surface of the injection cylinder 17 in Figure 1 is no longer subjected to supply pressure. This means that the injection cylinder is prevented from extending, for example.
- fluid can escape from the injection cylinder via the open AT control edge 21 if it is subjected to an external force, such as during plasticizing or in setup mode when the injection cylinder is filled with plastic melt.
- an actuating mechanism is integrated into an existing control valve.
- good controllability in control operation is to be achieved by a small relative overlap between the P-A and A-T control edges 20, 21 and, in the failsafe case, a separation of the A control connection 502 from the T control connection 501 and simultaneously from the P control connection 503 by means of overlapping A-T and P-A control edges.
- control edges ideally with a low relative overlap or zero intersection of the A-T and P-A control edges 21, 20 as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, in order to enable fast and precise control and, on the other hand, in the failsafe position 25, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5, separates the A control connection 502 from the P control connection 503, i.e. has sufficient overlap of the P-A control edge 20.
- these control valves with fast and precise control of the state of the art cannot separate the T control connection 501 and the P control connection 503 from the A control connection 502 at the same time in the failsafe position 25 in order to ensure an axial standstill of the injection unit 15.
- Figures 6 to 14 show switchable control edges according to the disclosure.
- Figures 6 and 7 in conjunction with Figure 8 show schematically how the width of the Piston shoulders and thus the length of the AT and PA control edges can be switched between an overlap and a zero cut.
- the control valve in Figure 6 is in active control.
- the first control slide 400 as shown in Figure 6, comprises an axial bore 40 with a second control slide 41 and at least a first and second transverse bore 46, 47 in the first and second piston shoulder 31, 32 of the first control slide 400.
- a second control edge 42, 43 (A-T2) is formed.
- the first and third control edges 45, 44 correspond to the A-T and P-A control edges 21, 22 (as described with reference to Figures 3, 4 and 5).
- the second control slide 41 comprises a first piston shoulder 411 and a second piston shoulder 412 and regulates a flow or flow path through the transverse bores 46, 47 and the axial bore 40.
- the second control edge 42, 43 (A-T2) and the third control edge 44 (P-A) simultaneously form a zero cut as shown by P8 and Pli in Figure 6, so that a precise and fast control is possible with the second control slide in the open position, as shown in Figure 6.
- the first control edge 45 (A-Tl) is in an overlapped position in Figure 6, P10 in Figure 6.
- Figure 6 shows that the second control edge 42, 43 (A-T2) and third control edge 44 (P-A) together have a small relative overlap, in this case even a very small relative overlap, see P9 in Figure 6.
- control does not take place immediately via the A-T control edge, which in Figure 6 would correspond to the first control edge 45 (A-Tl) of the disclosure, but via the second control edge 42, 43 (A-T2) which is not known in the prior art.
- the control spool 400 in Figure 7 is in a failsafe position during a failsafe event.
- the second control spool 41 is closed because the first piston shoulder 411 of the second control spool 41 prevents flow through the cross bore 46, P12 in Figures 7 and 8.
- the second control edge 42, 43 (A-T2) is in a covered position and there is no flow between the T and A
- the first control edge 45 (A-Tl) and the third control edge 44 (PA) are also overlapped in the failsafe position, P13 and P14 in Figure 7. This ensures that in the failsafe position 25 (see Figure 8) no volume flow can flow between the T and A control connections 501, 502 and the P and A control connections 503, 502. There is no flow path via the transverse bores 46, 47 and axial bore 40 and also no direct flow path from the A control connection 502 to the T control connection 501.
- Figure 8 shows a volume flow signal function of the control edges from Figures 6 and 7 according to the disclosure.
- the x-axis shows the control slide stroke S of the first control slide 400 according to the disclosure.
- the failsafe position 25 runs through the origin and coincides with the y-axis.
- Figure 8 shows two cases of a characteristic curve of the volume flow between A-control connection 502 and T-control connection 501.
- the characteristic curve 452 no longer increases because the maximum flow via the second control edge 42, 43 is limited due to the diameters of the transverse bores 46, 47 and axial bore 40.
- the first control edge 45 opens and an additional flow path between the T and A control connections 501, 502 is created, see characteristic curve 451.
- a flow path opens between the P and A control connections 503, 502 while the flow path between the T and A control connections 501, 502 is simultaneously closed, as the characteristic curve 443 shows.
- Figure 9 shows an internal bore system in a control spool 400 according to the disclosure.
- the internal bore system allows flow between the T and A control ports 501, 502 via an axial bore 40 and forms a second control edge 42, 43 (A-T2) between the T and A control ports 501, 502.
- This internal bore system includes the axial bore 40, a second control spool 41 that controls flow between the control ports A and T via the second control edge 42, 43 (A-T2) in combination with the first control spool 400, and leakage relief bores 51, 52.
- Figure 9 shows the control valve according to the disclosure during the failsafe case in the failsafe position 25 (see Figure 8) with the failsafe valves switched off.
- a first control edge 45 A-Tl control edge
- a third control edge 44 P-A control edge
- Figure 9 makes it clear that during the failsafe case, the A-Tl and P-A control edges 45, 44 are largely overlapped. This is possible in particular because the second control slide 41 is positioned in such a way that the flow path between the T and A control connections 501, 502 via the second control edge 42, 43 (A-T2) is blocked due to the first piston shoulder 411 of the second control slide 41.
- the second control slide 41 in the axial bore 40 controls the A-T2 control edge 42, 43 and thus regulates a flow between the T and A control connections 501, 502.
- the second control slide 41 is positioned such that the left piston shoulder 411 of the second control slide 41 blocks the first transverse bore 46.
- a further movement of the first control slide 400 in the valve body 1 to the left into a positive end position results in fluid flowing from the P control connection 503 via the third control edge 45 (P-A) to a consumer connected to the A control connection 502, for example the injection unit 15, and the pressure there increasing.
- An opposite movement of the first control slide 400 to the right into a negative end position causes the fluid to flow out of the consumer and thus leads to a drop in pressure, since the second control slide 41 is positioned in such a way that the second control edge 42, 43 (A-T2) is opened by the displacement of the first control slide 400 to the right and thus a flow path is created between the T and A control connections 501, 502, this is the characteristic behavior from Figures 6 and Figure 8.
- the first control slide 400 thus behaves, when viewed from the outside, for an observer without knowledge of the second control slide 41 and the second control edge (A-T2 control edge), as if the width of the piston shoulder 32, i.e. the length of the first control edge 45 (in the prior art), were variable.
- the width of the piston shoulder 32 of the first control slide 400 can be switched even after production by adopting one of the two states according to the disclosure of Figures 6 and 7. This is not possible with the control slide 4 of the prior art from Figures 1 to 5, as has already been explained with reference to Figures 3 to 5.
- Figure 10 shows a control valve according to the disclosure in a control operation of the A-T2 and PA control edges 42, 43, 44.
- the second control slide 41 is in an open position with covered control edges 42, 43, ie the second control slide 41 is positioned such that a flow path between the T and A control connections 501, 502 would be possible via the axial bore 40 if the second control edge 42, 43 is released by moving the first control slide 400.
- This moment is shown on the characteristic curves 452 and 443 at the point P8, Pli and P9 on the x-axis of Figure 8.
- Figure 11 shows a control valve according to the disclosure in a control operation of the first control edge 45 (A-Tl) and control edge 23 (P-B).
- first control edge 45 A-Tl
- control edge 23 P-B
- the characteristic curves 451 and 231 it is shown that the first control slide 400 is brought to the right in a maximum negative end position in the valve body 1, the third control edge 44 is closed and the second control slide 41 is in a closed position. This means that a flow between the T and A control connections 501, 502 via the axial bore 40 is blocked.
- Figure 11 shows that a direct flow path is created between the T and A control ports 501, 502, in which the first control edge 45 (A-T1 control edge) is in the open position and the second control edge 42, 43 (A-T2 control edge) is closed by the second piston shoulder 412 of the second control slide 40.
- a flow between the T and A control ports 501, 502 does not take place because the second control slide 41 in Figure 12 is positioned in such a way that the first piston shoulder 411 keeps the second control edge (A-T2) closed and despite the second Piston shoulder 412 in the open position means that no flow occurs via the axial bore 40 between the T and A control connections 501, 502.
- the first control edge 45 (A-Tl) and second control edge 42, 43 (A-T2) are in an overlapping position of the first control slide 400 due to the positive end position.
- the piston shoulders 411, 412 of the second control slide 41 are designed according to the disclosure such that the second control slide 41 releases the flow path via the second control edge 42, 43 (A-T2) when the first control slide 400 moves into a negative end position, for example in Figure 8.
- the second control slide 41 can release the flow path via the second control edge 42, 43 by being brought into a positive end position (not shown in the figures).
- Figures 6 to 14 show, on the one hand, how, when the failsafe valves 2 and 61 are activated, a zero-cut behavior and thus a fast and precise controllability is possible through a relatively small overlap between the second control edge 42, 43 (A-T2) and third control edge 44 (P-A).
- the failsafe valves are deactivated, i.e.
- the leakage can be reduced to a minimum, corresponding to a gap leakage, in that the first control edge 45 (A-T1) and third control edge (P-A) 44 have a sufficiently large overlap (see P12, P13 and P14 in Figure 7) and thus an axis standstill of the axis connected to the disclosed control valve system 100, for example an injection unit 15, can be ensured.
- Figure 13 shows a schematic view of a control valve system 100 according to the disclosure, comprising the control valve in a schematic longitudinal section and a fail-safe valve 2 and a 3/2-way fail-safe seat valve as well as a pilot valve 3.
- the valve electronics 11 and the position measuring system 10 are not shown here.
- the valve electronics 11 and the position measuring system 10 are shown schematically in Figures 16 to 19 in which they are attached to the right of the valve body 1.
- the valve body 1 includes a first control slide 400, which can alternatively also be referred to as a main control slide 400.
- the first control slide 400 is provided with an axial bore 40 in which a second control slide 41 is mounted.
- the second control slide 41 is also referred to as an inner control slide 41.
- the second control slide 41 is smaller than the first control slide 400.
- the diameter of the second control slide 41 is smaller than the diameter of the first control slide 400, so that the second control slide 41 is accommodated within the axial bore 40.
- the valve body 1 in Figure 13 shows in longitudinal section from left to right a first control connection 501, a second control connection 502, a third control connection 503 and a fourth control connection 504 as well as a B-side T-channel 505, which is connected to the first control connection 501 by means of a connecting passage and/or ring channel.
- the first control connection 501 is a T-control connection 501.
- the B-side T-channel 505 thus corresponds to a B-side T-control connection 501.
- the second control connection 502 is an A-control connection 502.
- the third control connection 503 is a P-control connection 503.
- the fourth control connection 504 is a B-control connection 504.
- the first control slide 400 and the valve body 1 form a first control edge 45, also referred to as A-T1 control edge.
- the first control edge 45 regulates the flow rate of a first flow path between the T control connection 501 and A control connection 502.
- first control slide 400 and the valve body 1 form a second control edge 42, 43, which is also referred to as A-T2 control edge.
- the second control edge 42, 43 regulates a flow rate via an additional flow path between the T control connection 501 and the A control connection 501.
- the second control edge 42, 43 (A-T2) and the third control edge 44 (P-A) form a relatively small overlap.
- the first control edge 45 (A-T1) between the control connections T and A has a sufficiently large overlap. This means that in the failsafe case only a very small volume flow flows between the control connections T and A. The volume flow is so small that it corresponds to a normal gap leakage.
- the second control edge 42, 43 (A-T2) between the control connections T and A has one or more first transverse bores 46, which are connected to the axial bore 40 of the first control slide and enable a flow.
- a puncture-shaped ring channel and/or control window 421, 431 (shown schematically in Figure 14) is formed at the inlet and outlet respectively. This enables the second control edge (A-T2) 42, 43 to be precisely adapted to the third control edge 44 (P-A control edge between the P control connection 503 and the A control connection 502) in a way that is specific to the application, via the ring channel and/or the control window.
- one or more additional second transverse bores 47 are provided in the area of the A control connection 502, which are also connected to the axial bore 40.
- the second control slide 41 activates and/or deactivates, depending on the position of an actuating piston 48, the additional flow path through the transverse bores 46, 47 and axial bore 40 between the T and A control connections 501, 502.
- the flow rate and the pressure via the second control edge 42, 43 (A-T2) are regulated by deflecting the first control slide 41 to the left or right.
- the second control slide 41 has pressurized annular surfaces 491, 492. These are formed on a first piston shoulder 411 in a front area of the second control slide 41 and a second piston shoulder 412 in the rear area of the second control slide 41. These are hydraulically balanced and a load pressure via the A control connection 502 cannot therefore lead to the second control slide 41 being actuated unintentionally.
- a leakage that reaches a rear chamber 50 of the second control slide 41 is discharged via an axial relief bore 51 via the B-side T-channel 505 to the T-control connection 501.
- the first control slide 400 has one or more third transverse bores 52 in the area of the B-side T-channel 505.
- the second control slide 41 has a slot 53 at its right end, which faces the rear chamber 50. This slot 53 enables the leakage to be discharged via the axial leakage relief bore 51, which is formed coaxially in extension to the axial bore 40, even when blocked.
- Figure 14 shows a left section of the control valve according to the disclosure of Figure 17, with the first and second control slide according to the disclosure as already described in Figures 6 to 13.
- the control valve is in active control of the third control edge 44 (PA) and second control edge 42, 43 (A-T2).
- the internal system is open, ie the second control slide 41 is positioned such that the first and second piston shoulders 411, 412 of the second control slide 41 release the passage between the T control connection 501 and A control connection 502 via the second control edge 42, 43 and the bore 40.
- the failsafe valves 2 and 61 are switched on.
- the actuating piston 48 is kept open by the control pressure pX via the valve 61 attached to the end cap chamber 54 of the end cap 57 against a compression spring 56 which is supported on the inside of the end cap 57 or a stop 58 (shown in Figure 14).
- the actuating piston 48 has a left annular surface 60 and a right annular surface 55.
- a spring chamber 59 and a left annular surface 60 of the actuating piston 48 are relieved in the failsafe case via a second valve 61, shown in the figures for example as a switchable 3/2-way failsafe seat valve, so that the compression spring 56 presses the actuating piston 48 against the second control slide 41.
- the spring chamber 59 of the actuating piston 48 is constantly relieved in the direction of the tank via the T-control connection 501.
- the spring chamber 59 is connected to the T-control connection 501 of the valve body 1 via one and/or several bores 62. Alternatively, it can be relieved via further bores via a Y-relief connection 507 and/or via a separate leakage relief connection attached to the end cap 57 (not shown in Figure 14).
- the 3/2-way failsafe seat valve 61 in Figure 13 is electrically switched at the same time as the 4/2-way failsafe valve 2.
- both failsafe valves are de-energized.
- the 4/2-way failsafe valve 2 connects the left and right control chambers 12, 13 of the first control slide 400 in the valve body 1 and thus creates a hydraulic short circuit.
- the first control slide 400 is placed in a defined failsafe position via a large spring 131 in the right-hand control chamber 13.
- the compression spring 56 presses the first control slide 400, via the actuating piston 48 and the second control slide 41, into a defined failsafe position, which corresponds, for example, to the failsafe position 25 in Figure 8.
- the failsafe position in the failsafe case is characterized by the fact that both the third control edge 44 (PA) and the first control edge 45 (A-Tl) assume a sufficiently large covered position.
- the second control slide 41 closes the first cross hole(s) 46 so that the second control edge 42, 43 (A-T2) is also sufficiently covered.
- the shaft diameter 63 of the actuating piston 48 which penetrates into the axial bore 40 of the first control slide 400 and actuates the second control slide 41, has a smaller diameter than the first and second piston shoulders 411, 412 or the axial bore 40 of the second control slide 41. This makes it possible to compensate for axial offsets of the piston bores due to tolerances.
- the second control slide 41 has a right stop 64 at the rear, in the area of the rear chamber 50, which serves to transfer the spring force of an inner spring 65 to the first control slide 400 in the case of a failsafe. Alternatively, this can also be done via a step in the front area of the second control slide 41, in the area of the end cap 57 (not shown in the figures).
- the second control spool 41 is actively kept open via pX pressure when the actuating piston 48 is open (i.e. energized 3/2-way seat valve).
- the actuating piston 48 is connected to the second control slide 41 via a connecting element 76 or a coupling element.
- the coupling element can be designed as a threaded rod in order to compensate for production-related axis and angular offsets between the piston axes of the second control slide 41 and the actuating piston 48.
- the connecting element as a threaded rod is designed, for example, in the form of a compensating rod with a thread on both sides (not shown in Figure 14).
- the actuating piston 48 has an axial bore 77 in which the compensating rod is mounted.
- the compensating rod is locked against the small, inner control slide (41) by means of a right-hand lock nut 66 and against the actuating piston (48) by means of a left-hand lock nut 78.
- the lock nut 78 is hardened and at the same time represents a mechanical stop.
- An O-ring 79 seals the right control chamber 86 of the end cap chamber 54 against the spring chamber 59 in the end cap 57.
- the O-ring 79 sits in a recess 84 and is thus axially secured against displacement.
- the seal in Figure 14 can also be designed in another way.
- the balancing rod 76 has a hexagon socket 82 at the left end, with which the small, inner control slide can be finely adjusted axially before tightening the lock nut 78.
- the leakage relief holes 51, 52, 62 or the control holes for the 3/2-way seat valve can optionally be equipped with orifices, which are screwed into the corresponding threads.
- the actuating piston 48 and the second control slide 41 are heat treated (hardened and tempered) and therefore have a higher level of wear protection.
- the overlaps and under-coverages and opening points of the control edges 42, 43, 44, 45 to each other can be increased or reduced depending on the application.
- the second control slide 41 can alternatively be equipped with flow force compensating structural measures, for example grooves, cams or chamfers.
- control edges 42, 43, 44, 45 are alternatively optimized for special applications by means of angles, radii or control windows in order to set the corresponding flow characteristics of the T, A, P, B control connections 501, 502, 503, 504.
- the end cap 57 which is attached to the left side of the valve body 1, has a thread 67 incorporated into which a hardened stop 58 is screwed, which serves as wear protection. This means that the end cap 57 is not damaged when the actuating piston 48 moves against the end stop in an end position.
- the end cap 57 can be made entirely or partially from hardened material, or the area 68 in which the actuating piston 48 comes into contact with the end cap 57 can be partially hardened.
- the mechanism of the second control slide can be mounted on the right side of the valve body 1 in order to design a B-Tl and/or B-T2 control edge instead of the A-Tl and/or A-T2 control edge to be switchable.
- a combination is also possible in which the second control slide 41 is extended within the first control slide 400 in such a way that both the first and/or second control edge (A-Tl, A-T2) and at the same time a B-Tl and/or B-T2 control edge are designed to be switchable.
- the leakage relief holes 51, 52, 62 would be adapted accordingly.
- the actuating piston 48 can alternatively be supplied, controlled and actuated via a 4/2-way valve (not shown) or via pX pressure. If the actuating piston 48 is controlled externally via pX pressure and a 4/2-way seat valve, both opening and closing can be carried out actively via pressure.
- the second control edge 42, 43 (A-T2 control edge) can be finely adjusted to the respective application in the control slide 400 via a control window (e.g. hard-milled, eroded) or alternatively via a circumferential recess (hard-turned, ground).
- Figure 15 shows an alternative disclosure in which the axial leakage relief bore 51 of the first control slide 400 can open into a control slot 69 and/or a circumferential recess 70 on the fourth piston shoulder 34 of the first control slide 400, which connects the axial leakage relief bore 51 to a Y relief connection 507 of the valve body 1.
- the control slot 69 is connected to the axial leakage relief bore 51 via a fourth transverse bore 73 and a further transverse bore 74 to the Y channel 72 is provided in the valve body 1. The leakage from the main control slide 400 can thus also be relieved to Y.
- an additional compression spring can be installed in the left end cap/control chamber 54, 12 between end cap 57 and first control slide 400 (not shown in the figures).
- a position measuring system or a proximity switch can be attached to the confirmation piston 48 in order to query the position of the piston and integrate it into the higher-level machine safety concept.
- the 3/2-way seat valve can be supplied via the P control connection 503 of the valve body 1 instead of via the X line if the latter is connected to the 3/2-way seat valve by means of bores (not shown in Figure 15).
- the actuating piston can also be designed as a rotary piston.
- the second control slide is then designed accordingly as a rotary slide in order to open and close the internal system by performing a rotary movement instead of a longitudinal movement (not shown in Figure 15).
- FIGS 16 to 19 show the control valve system 100 in a schematic representation with the valve electronics 11 and a position measuring system 10 which is arranged on the right of the valve body 1.
- the valve electronics and the position measuring system serve to electronically control the first control slide 400.
- the second control slide 41 is not electronically controlled, but is hydraulically controlled via the failsafe valve 61 in interaction with the end cap 57 (attached to the left of the valve body 1) and actuating piston 48.
- Figure 16 shows the control valve system 100 according to the disclosure with the failsafe valves 2, 61 switched off during the failsafe case in the middle position of the first control slide 400 and a second control slide 41 in the closed position.
- Figure 17 shows the control valve system 100 according to the disclosure with the failsafe valves 2, 61 switched on and active control of the third control edge 44 (PA) and second control edge 42, 43 (A-T2) with the second control slide 41 in the open position.
- PA third control edge 44
- A-T2 third control edge 44
- the third control edge 44 (PA) and the fifth control edge 22 (BT) are in an under-covered position and a volume flow flows between the corresponding control connections.
- the first control edge 45 (A-Tl) is in an under-covered position and thus enables a volume flow between the T and A control connections 501, 502.
- the fourth control edge 22 (PB) is in an under-covered position and a volume flow flows between the P and B control connections 503, 504.
- the second control slide 41 is in a closed position due to the position of its second piston shoulder 412 and thus no volume flow flows via the second control edge 42, 43 (A-T2) between the T and A control connections 501, 502.
