Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Stellantrieb mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to an actuator with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Ein gattungsgemäßer Stellantrieb ist bekannt (DT-OS 21 03 701). Das Kolbenarbeitselement dieses einfachwirkenden Stellantriebs wird mittels einer elektrisch angetriebenen Pumpe mit aus einem Sumpf angesaugtem öl gegen die Kraft einer Rückstellfeder aus einer Ruhe-Endlage in eine ausgefahrene Arbeits-Endlage verschoben und kann dort nur gehalten werden, solange der Antriebsmotor und die Pumpe laufen. Obwohl alle Funktionsteile dieses bekannten Stellantriebs in einem Gehäuse untergebracht sind, baut dieser wegen des notwendigen ölsumpfes nicht sehr klein. Stellkräfte können nur in einer Arbeitsrichtung aufgebracht werden.A generic actuator is known (DT-OS 21 03 701). The piston working element of this single-acting actuator is moved by means of an electrically driven pump with oil drawn in from a sump against the force of a return spring from a rest end position to an extended work end position and can only be held there as long as the drive motor and the pump are running. Although all the functional parts of this known actuator are housed in one housing, this is not very small because of the necessary oil sump. Actuating forces can only be applied in one working direction.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen gattungsgemäßen Stellantrieb mit fluidischer Kraftübertragung so auszubilden, daß bei Verwendung von Atmosphärenluft als Arbeitsmedium ein einfacher Aufbau, hohe Stellkräfte bei geringen Abmessungen und kleinen bewegten Massen sowie kurze Stellzeiten zwischen den beiden Endlagen des Stellgliedes erreicht werden.The invention has for its object to provide a generic actuator with fluid power transmission so that when using atmospheric air as a working medium, a simple structure, high actuating forces with small dimensions and small moving masses and short positioning times between the two end positions of the actuator can be achieved.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 erfindungsgemäß gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention with the characterizing features of patent claim 1.

Es ist noch ein anderer, nicht gattungsgemäßer Servoantrieb bekannt (US 3,374,625), bei dem die beiden Arbeitskammern eines separat angeordneten Kolbenarbeitselementes mittels aus einem ölsumpf herausgeführter Leitungen an je eine Zahnradpumpe angeschlossen sind, während die Pumpen und deren elektrischer Antriebsmotor selbst in die offene Wanne des ölsumpfs eingebaut sind. In Abhängigkeit von der Drehrichtung des Motors fördert jeweils die eine Pumpe öl aus dem Sumpf in eine Arbeitskammer des Kolbenstellelementes hinein und fördert die jeweils andere Pumpe öl aus der anderen Arbeitskammer in den Sumpf zurück. Die beanspruchte Ausgestaltung eines kompakten und mit Luft als Arbeitsfluid betreibbaren Stellantriebs kann aus der genannten US-PS nicht ohne weiteres hergeleitet werden. Ferner kann und soll ein Differenzdruck zwischen den beiden Arbeitskammern dieses Stellantriebs nicht selbsttätig ausgeglichen werden, so daß dessen Kolbenarbeitselement im Gegensatz zu dem erfindungsgemäßen Stellantrieb im Ruhezustand nicht freigängig beweglich sein kann.Another, not generic servo drive is known (US 3,374,625), in which the two working chambers of a separately arranged piston working element are connected to a gear pump by means of lines led out of an oil sump, while the pumps and their electric drive motor itself are in the open tub of the oil sump are installed. Depending on the direction of rotation of the motor, one pump pumps oil from the sump into a working chamber of the piston actuating element and the other pump pumps oil from the other working chamber back into the sump. The claimed design of a compact actuator that can be operated with air as the working fluid cannot be readily derived from said US-PS. Furthermore, a differential pressure between the two working chambers of this actuator cannot and should not be compensated for automatically, so that, in contrast to the actuator according to the invention, its piston working element cannot move freely in the idle state.

Die Unteransprüche offenbaren vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Stellantriebs.The subclaims disclose advantageous developments of the actuator according to the invention.

Durch gleichzeitige Beaufschlagung des Kolbenarbeitselementes auf einer Kolbenseite mit Über- und der anderen Kolbenseite mit Unterdruck bzw. umgekehrt, je nach Stellrichtung des Stellgliedes bzw. Förderrichtung der Pumpe, können die wirksamen Flächen des Kolbens und der Rauminhalt des fluidischen Systems bei verhältnismäßig hohen Stellkräften klein gehalten werden.
Dadurch werden folgende Vorteile erzeilt:

  • kompaktes Stellantriebsgehäuse
  • geringe Pufferwirkung der komprimierten Luft
  • sehr kurze Laufzeiten von Motor und Pumpe pro Stellvorgang aufgrund geringen Volumendurchsatzes an der Pumpe.
By simultaneously acting on the piston working element on one side of the piston with overpressure and the other side of the piston with negative pressure or vice versa, depending on the actuating direction of the actuator or delivery direction of the pump, the effective areas of the piston and the volume of the fluidic system can be kept small at relatively high actuating forces will.
This gives the following advantages:
  • compact actuator housing
  • low buffer effect of the compressed air
  • very short running times of motor and pump per actuation process due to the low volume throughput at the pump.

Die beiden zuletzt genannten Vorteile fallen auch beim Vergleich des erfindungsgemäßen Stellantriebes mit bekannten Bauelementen elektropneumatischer Zentralverreigelungsanlagen ins Gewicht. Bei solchen Anlagen, beispielsweise der durch die DE-PS 31 49 071 beschriebenen, ist eine zentrale Motor-Pumpen-Einheit vorgesehen, welche die über Schlauchleitungen an einen Pumpendruckstutzen angeschlossenen einkammrigen Verschlußstellelemente wechselweise mit Über- bzw. Unterdruck zum Ent- bzw. Verriegeln der diesen zugeordneten Verschlüsse beaufschlagt. Ein anderer Druckstutzen der Pumpe ist zur Atmosphäre hin offen; das fluidische System wird also wechselweise be- und entlüftet.The last two advantages mentioned also play a role when comparing the actuator according to the invention with known components of electropneumatic central locking systems. In such systems, for example that described by DE-PS 31 49 071, a central motor-pump unit is provided, which alternately connects the single-chamber closure actuating elements via hose lines to a pump pressure connection with positive or negative pressure to unlock or lock the applied to these closures. Another pressure port of the pump is open to the atmosphere; the fluidic system is therefore alternately aerated and vented.

Dadurch werden der Volumendurchsatz der Pumpe und mithin deren Laufdauer und die Pufferwirkung der im System transportierten Luft groß. Zudem müssen zur Mehrstellenbedienung der zentralen Motor-Pumpen-Einheit zusätzlich zu den Schlauchanschlüssen auch noch elektrische Leitungen zu den schlüsselbetätigbaren Verschlüssen verlegt werden.As a result, the volume throughput of the pump and thus its running time and the buffer effect of the air transported in the system become large. In addition to the multi-point operation of the central motor-pump unit, in addition to the hose connections, electrical lines must also be laid to the key-operated closures.

Vor allem bei der Vormontage von Kraftfahrzeugtüren mit der gesamten Ausstattung einschließlich Zentralverriegelungselementen müssen für jede Schlauchleitung Steckverbindungen vorgesehen werden, die dann beim Anbau der kompletten Tür an die Karosserie mit den entsprechenden Pumpenanschlußleitungen zusammengesteckt werden. Im Vergleich zu elektrischen Steckverbindungen sind die durch Druckkräfte mechanisch beanspruchten pneumatischen Stecker wesentlich größeren Belastungen ausgesetzt und bilden darüber hinaus auch unerwünschte Drosselstellen im Verlauf der Schlauchleitungen.Especially when pre-assembling motor vehicle doors with all the equipment including central locking elements, plug connections must be provided for each hose line, which are then plugged together with the corresponding pump connection lines when the complete door is attached to the body. Compared to electrical connectors, the pneumatic connectors that are mechanically stressed by compressive forces are exposed to considerably greater loads and also form undesired throttling points in the course of the hose lines.

Zwar wird in der Anlage nach DE-PS 31 49 071 bereits ein der Motor-Pumpen-Einheit zugeordnetes Arbeitselement erwähnt und in der Figur entsprechend dargestellt. Im Unterschied zum erfindungsgemäßen Stellantrieb ist dieses Arbeitselement jedoch lediglich - zur Endabschaltung des Elektromotors - mit einem elektrischen Schalter verbunden und auch nur einseitig an die Pumpe angeschlossen, parallel zu den weiteren pneumatischen Verschlußstellelementen. Außerdem spricht es später an als letztere, erfordert also eine längere Pumpenlaufzeit.A working element assigned to the motor-pump unit is already mentioned in the system according to DE-PS 31 49 071 and is shown accordingly in the figure. In contrast to the actuator according to the invention, however, this working element is only connected to an electrical switch for the end stop of the electric motor and is also only connected to the pump on one side, parallel to the other pneumatic closure adjusting elements. It also responds later than the latter, so it requires a longer pump runtime.

Aus der DE-OS 22 32 956 ist ein penumatischer Bremskraftverstärker bekannt, dessen Kolben zur Krafterhöhung von einer Pumpe gleichzeitig auf einer Seite mit Über- und auf der anderen Seite mit Unterdruck beaufschlagt wird. Wie beim beanspruchten Stellantrieb wird also die Druckdifferenz zwischen beiden Kolbenseiten erhöht. Daher können kleinere Abmessungen des Arbeitselementes verwirklicht werden. Zugleich sind aber im fluidischen System des Bremskraftverstärkers noch je ein Überdruck- und ein Unterdruckspeicher vorgesehen, so daß dieser Druckschrift kein Hinweis auf einen kompakt bauenden Stellantrieb mit gleichzeitiger Über- und Unterdruckbeaufschlagung eines Arbeitselementes in einem geschlossenen fluidischen System mit kleinem Fluidvolumen zu entnehmen ist.From DE-OS 22 32 956 a penumatic brake booster is known, the piston of which is simultaneously acted upon by a pump on one side with overpressure and on the other side with underpressure to increase the force. As with the claimed actuator, the pressure difference between the two piston sides is increased. Therefore, smaller dimensions of the work element can be realized. At the same time, however, an overpressure and a vacuum accumulator are provided in the fluidic system of the brake booster, so that this document does not indicate a compact actuator with simultaneous overpressure and underpressurization of a working element in a closed fluidic system with a small fluid volume.

An embodiment of an electric actuator according to the invention with pneumatic power transmission is shown in the drawing and is described in more detail below.
Show it:

Figure 2
same actuator rotated 90 °.

Ein Stellantrieb weist einen Elektromotor 1 mit elektrischen Anschlüssen 2 und 3 auf. Dieser ist in ein Gehäuse 4 eingesetzt, das seinerseits aus zwei Gehäuseteilen 5 und 6 besteht.An actuator has an electric motor 1 with electrical connections 2 and 3. This is inserted into a housing 4, which in turn consists of two housing parts 5 and 6.

Eine Membran 14 eines Membrankolbenarbeitselementes 15 ist zwischen den beiden Gehäuseteilen 5 und 6 dichtend eingespannt. Die Membran 14 trennt eine erste Arbeitskammer 16, die von der Membran 14 und dem Gehäuseteil 5 begrenzt wird, von einer zweiten Arbeitskammer 17, die von der Membran 14 und dem Gehäuseteil 6 begrenzt wird.A membrane 14 of a membrane piston working element 15 is clamped between the two housing parts 5 and 6 in a sealing manner. The membrane 14 separates a first working chamber 16, which is delimited by the membrane 14 and the housing part 5, from a second working chamber 17, which is delimited by the membrane 14 and the housing part 6.

Die Membran 14 weist ein allseitig eingespanntes Loch 18 zur Durchführung einer Luftströmung auf. Das Membrankolbenarbeitselement 15 ist mit einem Stellglied 19 verbunden, das aus dem Gehäuseteil 6 ins Freie tritt, wobei die Durchtrittsöffnung durch eine Rollbalgdichtung 20 abgedichtet wird.The membrane 14 has a hole 18 clamped on all sides for carrying out an air flow. The diaphragm piston working element 15 is connected to an actuator 19 which emerges from the housing part 6 into the open, the passage opening being sealed by a bellows seal 20.

Je ein Flügelzellenpumpenläufer 8.1, 8.2 ist auf der Ankerwelle des Elektromotors 1 befestigt und in je einer Pumpenkammer 7.1, 7.2 im Gehäuseteil 5 angeordnet. Die beiden Pumpenkammern 7.1, 7.2 sind durch einen drehfest im Gehäuseteil 5 angebrachten Dichteinsatz 9' gegeneinander abgedichtet. Die Pumpenkammer 7.2 wird nach außen durch einen ebenfalls drehfesten Stopfen 9'' abgeschlossen. Der Dichteinsatz 9' weist einen Druckanschluß 10' auf, welcher die Pumpenkammer 7.1 mit einem Strömungskanal 12' verbindet, der seinerseits in die Arbeitskammer 16 des Kolbenarbeitselementes 15 mündet. Der Stopfen 9'' weist einen Druckanschluß 11' auf, der die Pumpenkammer 7.2 mit einem Strömungskanal 13' verbindet, welcher seinerseits in die Arbeitskammer 17 des Kolbenarbeitselementes 15 mündet und in Wänden beider Gehäuseteile 5 und 6 sowie durch das Loch 18 der Membran 14 verläuft.Each vane pump runner 8.1, 8.2 is attached to the armature shaft of the electric motor 1 and arranged in a pump chamber 7.1, 7.2 in the housing part 5. The two pump chambers 7.1, 7.2 are sealed off from one another by a sealing insert 9 'which is fixed in rotation in the housing part 5. The pump chamber 7.2 is closed to the outside by a likewise non-rotatable plug 9 ″. The sealing insert 9 'has a pressure connection 10', which connects the pump chamber 7.1 to a flow channel 12 ', which in turn opens into the working chamber 16 of the piston working element 15. The plug 9 ″ has a pressure connection 11 ′, which connects the pump chamber 7.2 to a flow channel 13 ′, which in turn opens into the working chamber 17 of the piston working element 15 and runs in the walls of both housing parts 5 and 6 and through the hole 18 in the membrane 14 .

Die den Elektromotor 1 aufnehmende Bohrung des Gehäuseteils 5 wird durch einen weiteren Stopfen 21 ebenfalls dicht verschlossen, der auch zur dichten Durchführung der elektrischen Anschlüsse 2 und 3 zum Elektromotor 1 dient. Des weiteren ist eine Abdichtung zwischen der motornahen Pumpenkammer 7.1 und dem Elektromotor 1, etwa an dessen Ankerwelle, vorgesehen. Der Dichteinsatz 9' und die Stopfen 9'' und 21 können einfach eingepreßt sein oder auf beliebige andere Weise am Gehäuseteil 5 befestigt werden. Insbesondere wird im Hinblick auf die Druckanschlüsse 10' und 11', z. B. durch entsprechende Form des Dichteinsatzes 9' und des Stopfens 9'', dafür gesorgt, daß die Druckanschlüsse bereits beim Einsetzen der Teile in den Gehäuseteil 5 in die richtige Lage zu den Strömungkanälen 12' bzw. 13' gelangen und aus dieser auch im Einbauzustand nicht abweichen können. Die gezeigte Anordnung erlaubt eine einfache Montage und Demontage der Motor-Pumpenläufer-Einheit.The bore of the housing part 5 which receives the electric motor 1 is also sealed tightly by a further plug 21 which also serves for the tight passage of the electrical connections 2 and 3 to the electric motor 1. Furthermore, a seal is provided between the pump chamber 7.1 close to the motor and the electric motor 1, for example on its armature shaft. The sealing insert 9 'and the plugs 9''and 21 can simply be pressed in or attached to the housing part 5 in any other way. In particular, with regard to the pressure connections 10 'and 11', for. B. by appropriate shape of the sealing insert 9 'and the plug 9'', ensured that the pressure connections already when inserting the parts into the housing part 5 get into the correct position for the flow channels 12 'or 13' and cannot deviate from them even when installed. The arrangement shown allows easy assembly and disassembly of the motor-pump rotor unit.

Mittels einer Bohrung 22 im Gehäuseteil 5 wird der Stellantrieb in Nachbarschaft zu einem mit dem Stellglied verbundenen Verschluß oder einer in offene oder geschlossene Stellung zu verfahrenden Lüfterklappe oder dgl. befestigt.By means of a bore 22 in the housing part 5, the actuator is fastened in the vicinity of a closure connected to the actuator or a fan flap or the like to be moved into the open or closed position.

In Fig. 2 sind ferner Atmosphärenanschlüsse 32 - im Dichteinsatz 9' angeordnet und in die Pumpenkammer 7.1 mündend - und 33 - im Stopfen 9'' angeordnet und in die Pumpenkammer 7.2 mündend - skizziert.
Beide Flügelzellenpumpenläufer 8.1, 8.2 werden bei laufendem Elektromotor 1 gleichsinnig angetrieben. Um das Kolbenarbeitselement 15 aus der in Fig. 2 dargestellten unteren Stellung in die entgegengesetzte obere Stellung zu bringen, muß der Elektromotor links herum laufen. Dann erzeugt der Pumpenläufer 8.1 Überdruck am Druckanschluß 10', im Strömungskanal 12' und in der Arbeitskammer 16 durch Ansaugen von Luft über den Atmosphärenanschluß 32 seiner Pumpenkammer 7.1; gleichzeitig erzeugt der Pumpenläufer 8.2 Unterdruck am Druckanschluß 11' und evakuiert die Arbeitskammer 17 über den Strömungskanal 13', den Druckanschluß 11' und den Atmosphärenanschluß 33, wo die Absaugluft ins Freie gelangt.
Aufgrund der Druckdifferenz zwischen seinen Arbeitskammern 16 und 17 schnappt das Kolbenarbeitselement 15 um. Durch Drehrichtungsumkehr des Elektromotors 1 und der beiden Pumpenläufer 8.1 und 8.2 wird der umgekehrte Stellvorgang eingeleitet. Stellvorgänge laufen mit diesem Stellantrieb

  • durch gleichzeitige Beaufschlagung des Kolbenarbeitselements mit Unterdruck einerseits und Überdruck andererseits,
  • durch geringe Fluiddurchsätze und
  • durch kleines Volumen des fluidischen Kraftübertragungssystems

sehr rasch und zuverlässig ab.
Der Ausgleich der Druckdifferenz erfolgt über Strömungskurzschlüsse in den beiden Pumpenkammern, so daß das fluidische System im Ruhezustand unter Atmosphärendruck steht und die Kraftübertragung freigängig ist.In FIG. 2, atmospheric connections 32 - also arranged in the sealing insert 9 'and opening into the pump chamber 7.1 - and 33 - arranged in the plug 9''and opening into the pump chamber 7.2 - are outlined.
Both vane pump runner 8.1, 8.2 are driven in the same direction with the electric motor 1 running. In order to bring the piston working element 15 from the lower position shown in FIG. 2 into the opposite upper position, the electric motor must run to the left. Then the pump rotor 8.1 generates excess pressure at the pressure connection 10 ', in the flow channel 12' and in the working chamber 16 by sucking in air through the atmosphere connection 32 of its pump chamber 7.1; At the same time, the pump rotor 8.2 creates negative pressure at the pressure connection 11 'and evacuates the working chamber 17 via the flow channel 13', the pressure connection 11 'and the atmosphere connection 33, where the suction air is released.
Due to the pressure difference between its working chambers 16 and 17, the piston working element 15 snaps over. By reversing the direction of rotation of the electric motor 1 and the two pump rotors 8.1 and 8.2 the reverse actuation process is initiated. Actuating processes run with this actuator
  • by simultaneously acting on the piston working element with vacuum on the one hand and overpressure on the other,
  • due to low fluid flow rates and
  • due to the small volume of the fluidic power transmission system

very quickly and reliably.
The pressure difference is compensated for by flow short-circuits in the two pump chambers, so that the fluidic system is at atmospheric pressure in the idle state and the power transmission is free.

Wenn ein Strömungskurzschluß durch die Pumpe nicht möglich ist, kann der Druckdifferenzausgleich über eine Bypass-Leitung mit einem im Betrieb des Elektromotors diese sperrenden, dem Elektromotor parallel geschalteten Magnetventil, die in an sich bekannter Weise (FR 2 572 201 Al) fluidisch zwischen beiden Arbeitskammern des Kolbenarbeitselementes angeordnet ist, erfolgen.If a flow short circuit through the pump is not possible, the pressure difference can be compensated via a bypass line with a solenoid valve that blocks the electric motor during operation and is connected in parallel with the electric motor the piston working element is arranged.

Obwohl das Ausführungsbeispiel sich lediglich auf ein linear bewegliches Kolbenarbeitselement stützt, sind selbstverständlich auch nichtlineare Stellbewegungen eines geeigneten Stellgliedes, z. B. bei dessen Verbindung mit einer Lüfterklappe oder einer Türschließhilfe, ohne weiteres zu verwirklichen.Although the exemplary embodiment is based only on a linearly movable piston working element, non-linear actuating movements of a suitable actuator, e.g. B. when connected to a fan flap or a door closing aid, without further implementation.

Selbstverständlich können auch anstelle von Flügelzellenpumpenläufern andere Bauarten von im Ruhezustand strömungsdurchlässigen Pumpenläufern mit umkehrbarer Förderrichtung verwendet werden. Ebenso müssen die Pumpenläufer nicht zwingend gleichsinnig angetrieben werden; auch deren gegensinniger Antrieb ist möglich.Of course, other types of pump rotors which are permeable to flow in the idle state and have a reversible conveying direction can also be used instead of vane pump rotors. Likewise, the pump rotors do not necessarily have to be driven in the same direction; their opposite drive is also possible.
