Un tel dispositif est décrit par exemple dans les documents FR 2 376 978 ou FR 2 507 732.Such a device is described for example in the documents FR 2 376 978 or FR 2 507 732.

Un dispositif connu, représenté partiellement en coupe à la fig. 1 des dessins annexés, comporte un corps (pouvant être constitué par la réunion de plusieurs parties pour faciliter la mise en place des composants internes) dans lequel est aménagé au moins un réducteur de pression de fluide 2. Ce réducteur comprend un plongeur 3 apte à se déplacer dans une cavité 4 ménagée dans le corps 1. Cette cavité 4 comporte, d'un côté, un logement élargi 5 raccordé à un canal de retour vers le réservoir (T) et dans lequel est disposé un ressort de tarage 6 prenant appui entre un épaulement 7 du plongeur et une coupelle 8 mobile dans le logement 5 au voisinage de l'extrémité libre du plongeur et, de l'autre côté, un alésage 9 dans lequel une partie active 10 du plongeur peut être déplacée pour assurer la fonction de réduction de la pression (P) du fluide qui est amené depuis une source par un orifice d'entrée (non visible) raccordé à l'alésage 9 par une chambre 12 débouchant radialement dans celui-ci, tandis que l'alésage 9 débouche inférieurement dans une chambre 13 de départ du fluide de télécommande (D). La partie active ou piston 10 du plongeur comporte un canal intérieur axial 22 débouchant à la base du piston 10 dans la chambre de départ 13 et se terminant supérieurement par un perçage radial 23 débouchant latéralement.A known device, partially shown in section in fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings, comprises a body (can be made up of several parts to facilitate the installation of components internal) in which at least one reduction gear is fitted fluid pressure 2. This reducer includes a plunger 3 able to move in a cavity 4 formed in the body 1. This cavity 4 has, on one side, an enlarged housing 5 connected to a return channel to the tank (T) and in which is disposed a calibration spring 6 taking support between a shoulder 7 of the plunger and a cup 8 movable in the housing 5 near the end free of the plunger and, on the other side, a bore 9 in which an active part 10 of the plunger can be moved to perform the pressure reduction function (P) fluid that is brought in from a source through an orifice inlet (not visible) connected to bore 9 by a chamber 12 opening radially therein, while that bore 9 opens out lower into a chamber 13 for the remote control fluid (D). The part active or plunger 10 of the plunger has a channel axial interior 22 opening at the base of the piston 10 into the starting room 13 and ending superiorly with a radial bore 23 opening laterally.

Le plongeur 3 comporte en outre une partie de tige 14, surmontant la partie active 10 et s'étendant sensiblement dans la cavité 5 en étant entourée coaxialement par le ressort de tarage 6 ; cette partie de tige 14 traverse la coupelle 8 et se termine par une tête élargie 15 définissant un épaulement 16 de retenue de la coupelle.The plunger 3 further includes a rod portion 14, overcoming the active part 10 and extending substantially in the cavity 5 while being surrounded coaxially by the calibration spring 6; this part of rod 14 passes through the cup 8 and ends with a head enlarged 15 defining a shoulder 16 for retaining the cup.

Un ressort de rappel 17, coaxial à la tige 14, est interposé entre la coupelle 8 et un épaulement défini dans le corps 1, pour repousser la coupelle vers le haut, c'est-à-dire vers sa position définissant un tarage minimum.A return spring 17, coaxial with the rod 14, is interposed between the cup 8 and a shoulder defined in the body 1, to push the cup upwards, that is to say towards its position defining a calibration minimum.

La coupelle 8 est surmontée d'un poussoir 18 mobile à libre coulissement dans un alésage du corps et faisant saillie partiellement hors du corps pour être au contact d'une came 19 apte à pivoter autour d'un axe sous l'action d'un organe d'actionnement tel qu'une poignée 21.The cup 8 is surmounted by a pusher 18 movable at free sliding in a body bore and making partially protruding from the body to be in contact a cam 19 able to pivot around an axis under the action an actuating member such as a handle 21.

Le fonctionnement de ce dispositif est connu et l'on pourra se reporter par exemple aux documents précités FR 2376 978 ou FR 2 507 732 pour connaítre des précisions supplémentaires.The operation of this device is known and we could refer for example to the aforementioned documents FR 2376 978 or FR 2 507 732 for more details additional.

Un tel dispositif de télécommande donne entièrement satisfaction sur le plan de son fonctionnement technique, et il est largement utilisé.Such a remote control device gives entirely satisfaction in terms of its technical functioning, and it is widely used.

Toutefois, pour mieux répondre à diverses exigences de la pratique, il est apparu souhaitable d'apporter à ce dispositif connu des perfectionnements propres à améliorer la rapidité de réponse en fonctionnement en régulation et à faciliter l'usinage du corps ou des pièces constitutives du corps afin de recueillir une réduction des coûts de fabrication.However, to better meet various requirements of practice, it appeared desirable to bring to this device known for improvements capable of improving the speed of response in regulation operation and to facilitate the machining of the body or of the constituent parts of the body in order to collect a reduced cost of manufacturing.

A cette fin, un dispositif distributeur de fluide notamment pour télécommande hydraulique, tel que mentionné au préambule, se caractérise, étant agencé conformément à l'invention, en ce que la partie active du plongeur comporte au moins une portion de sa périphérie ayant un rayon moindre sur au moins un secteur angulaire et ayant une longueur axiale suffisante pour que, lorsque le plongeur est déplacé à partir de sa position de repos, un passage soit établi, entre les susdites chambres recevant le fluide d'alimentation (P) et le fluide de départ (D), à travers l'intervalle défini par ladite portion de rayon moindre et l'alésage dès que l'orifice radial du canal intérieur au plongeur est obturé par la paroi de l'alésage.To this end, a fluid dispensing device especially for hydraulic remote control, as mentioned in the preamble, is characterized, being arranged in accordance with the invention, in that the active part of the plunger has at least a portion of its periphery having a smaller radius over at least one angular sector and having sufficient axial length so that when the diver is moved from its rest position, a passage is established, between the above rooms receiving the supply fluid (P) and the starting fluid (D), through the interval defined by said portion of radius less and the bore as soon as the radial orifice of the channel inside the plunger is closed by the wall of the bore.

Dans un mode de réalisation possible, la portion de rayon moindre de la partie active du plongeur est annulaire et coaxiale à la partie active du plongeur.In one possible embodiment, the portion of smaller radius of the active part of the plunger is annular and coaxial with the active part of the plunger.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation possible, la portion de rayon moindre de la partie active du plongeur est unique.In another possible embodiment, the portion of smaller radius of the active part of the plunger is unique.

Toutefois, pour assurer l'obtention d'une section globale suffisante pour l'écoulement du fluide, dans un mode de réalisation préféré, plusieurs portions de rayon moindre sont prévues sur la partie active du plongeur ; notamment ces portions de rayon moindre sont agencés symétriquement, en particulier au nombre de deux diamétralement opposées ou de préférence au nombre de quatre, deux à deux diamétralement opposées.However, to ensure obtaining a section sufficient overall for fluid flow, in a preferred embodiment, multiple spoke portions less are provided on the active part of the plunger; in particular these portions of smaller radius are arranged symmetrically, especially two in number diametrically opposite or preferably the number of four, two to two diametrically opposite.

Dans un exemple de réalisation préféré en raison de la simplicité des usinages nécessaires, chaque portion de rayon moindre est un plat.In a preferred embodiment due to the simplicity of the machining required, each portion of smaller radius is a dish.

Grâce aux dispositions propres à l'invention, le mode de fonctionnement du dispositif est le suivant :

  • en fonction neutre (poussoir non enfoncé et plongeur rappelé vers le haut par le ressort de rappel), l'orifice supérieur radial du canal du plongeur débouche dans le logement précité et ledit canal établit une communication entre la chambre de départ et le logement : le fluide s'écoule alors de la chambre de départ (D) vers le réservoir (T) ;
  • le poussoir étant un peu enfoncé, le plongeur est descendu dans l'alésage ; l'orifice radial du canal est obturé par la paroi de l'alésage, interrompant ainsi toute possibilité d'écoulement de fluide par ce canal ; puis la portion de diamètre moindre de la partie active du plongeur chevauche la paroi de l'alésage comprise entre les chambres de départ et d'alimentation : le fluide hydraulique s'écoule alors, entre le plongeur et la paroi de l'alésage, depuis la chambre d'alimentation vers la chambre de départ ;
  • enfin, le plongeur étant déplacé à fond de course, l'orifice radial du canal du plongeur débouche dans la chambre d'alimentation et le fluide s'écoule depuis la chambre d'alimentation jusqu'à la chambre de départ en passant, à la fois, par le canal et par l'intervalle entre le plongeur et la paroi de l'alésage.
Thanks to the provisions specific to the invention, the operating mode of the device is as follows:
  • in neutral function (pushbutton not pressed and plunger returned upwards by the return spring), the upper radial orifice of the plunger channel opens into the abovementioned housing and said channel establishes communication between the starting chamber and the housing: the fluid then flows from the starting chamber (D) to the reservoir (T);
  • the pusher being slightly depressed, the plunger is lowered into the bore; the radial orifice of the channel is closed off by the wall of the bore, thereby interrupting any possibility of fluid flow through this channel; then the portion of smaller diameter of the active part of the plunger overlaps the wall of the bore comprised between the starting and supply chambers: the hydraulic fluid then flows, between the plunger and the wall of the bore, from the supply chamber to the departure chamber;
  • finally, the plunger being moved to the bottom of the travel, the radial orifice of the plunger channel opens into the supply chamber and the fluid flows from the supply chamber to the departure chamber passing through the times, by the channel and by the interval between the plunger and the wall of the bore.

Ainsi, cet agencement procure sélectivement deux circuits distincts pour l'écoulement du fluide, d'une part, à la périphérie du plongeur avec une section de passage accru pour l'écoulement du fluide de la chambre d'alimentation vers la chambre de départ (régulation) et, d'autre part, axialement par le canal central du plongeur pour l'écoulement du fluide en sens inverse depuis la chambre de départ vers le réservoir.Thus, this arrangement selectively provides two separate circuits for fluid flow, of a hand, on the periphery of the diver with a section of increased passage for the flow of fluid from the chamber supply to the departure chamber (regulation) and, on the other hand, axially through the central channel of the plunger for the reverse flow of the fluid from the departure chamber to the reservoir.

L'accroissement de la section de passage ainsi procurée au fluide au cours de la phase de fonction en régulation entraíne un gain sensible sur le temps de réponse du dispositif, pouvant s'accompagner d'une réduction notable, voire d'une annulation du bruit d'écoulement du fluide. The increase in the cross section as well supplied to the fluid during the operating phase in regulation results in a significant gain in the time of response of the device, which may be accompanied by a significant reduction or even cancellation of noise fluid flow.

Enfin, il peut en résulter une simplification significative de la fabrication du corps : on peut prévoir, pour former la chambre d'alimentation, un simple lamage à fond plat concentrique à l'orifice de la chambre de départ, en remplacement de l'usinage jusqu'ici nécessaire.Finally, it may result in a simplification significant of the manufacturing of the body: we can provide, to form the supply chamber, a simple counterbore concentric with the orifice of the chamber starting, replacing the machining so far necessary.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description détaillée qui suit de certains modes de réalisation préférés donnés uniquement à titre d'exemples non limitatifs. Dans cette description, on se réfère -aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

  • les figures 2 à 4 sont des vues partielles de côté, en coupe, analogues à celles de la figure 1 et illustrant les dispositions conformes à l'invention respectivement dans trois positions fonctionnelles différentes ;
  • et les figures 5 à 10 sont des vues en coupe transversale illustrant respectivement diverses configurations possibles du plongeur dans le cadre de l'invention.
The invention will be better understood on reading the detailed description which follows of certain preferred embodiments given solely by way of nonlimiting examples. In this description, reference is made to the appended drawings in which:
  • Figures 2 to 4 are partial side views, in section, similar to those of Figure 1 and illustrating the arrangements according to the invention respectively in three different functional positions;
  • and Figures 5 to 10 are cross-sectional views respectively illustrating various possible configurations of the plunger within the scope of the invention.

En se reportant maintenant à la figure 2, il y est représenté une partie de dispositif distributeur de fluide ayant une conception d'ensemble analogue (bien que non identique dans ses détails) à celle du dispositif antérieur illustré à la figure 1.Referring now to Figure 2, there is depicted a portion of fluid dispensing device having a similar overall concept (although not identical in its details) to that of the prior device illustrated in FIG. 1.

Dans le dispositif de la figure 2 (dans laquelle on reprend les mêmes références numériques pour désigner les organes ou parties d'organes analogues à ceux de la figure 1), la partie active 10 du plongeur 3 comporte au moins une portion 24 de sa périphérie ayant un rayon moindre sur au moins un secteur angulaire et ayant une longueur axiale suffisante pour que, lorsque le plongeur est déplacé à partir de sa position de repos, un passage soit établi entre les susdites chambres 12 recevant le fluide d'alimentation P et 13 recevant le fluide de départ D, à travers l'intervalle défini par ladite portion 24 de rayon moindre et l'alésage 9 dès que l'orifice radial 23 du canal 22 intérieur au plongeur est obturé par la paroi de l'alésage 9.In the device of Figure 2 (in which we resume the same reference numerals to designate the organs or parts of organs similar to those of FIG. 1), the part active 10 of the diver 3 has at least a portion 24 of its periphery with a smaller radius over at least one angular sector and having sufficient axial length so that when the diver is moved from its rest position, a passage is established between the above chambers 12 receiving the fluid supply P and 13 receiving the starting fluid D, through the interval defined by said portion 24 of smaller radius and the bore 9 as soon as the radial orifice 23 of the channel 22 inside the plunger is closed by the wall of bore 9.

Autrement dit, la portion de moindre rayon de la partie active du plongeur est encadrée axialement par deux zones ayant le diamètre nominal de la partie active, à savoir la zone terminale 10a du plongeur et la zone 10b contenant le ou les orifices radiaux 23 du canal intérieur 22.In other words, the smallest radius portion of the part active of the diver is axially framed by two zones having the nominal diameter of the active part, namely the terminal zone 10a of the plunger and zone 10b containing the radial hole (s) 23 of the inner channel 22.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif agencé comme précité est illustré aux figures 2 à 4.The operation of the device arranged as above is illustrated in figures 2 to 4.

A la figure 2, le dispositif est en position neutre ou de repos, la came 19 étant disposée coaxialement dans l'axe 25 du dispositif. Le poussoir 18 est rappelé en position saillante (position haute) par le ressort de rappel 17 et, le poussoir 18 coagissant avec la tête 15 du plongeur 3, maintient ce plongeur en position neutre montrée à la figure 2 dans laquelle l'orifice latéral 23 du canal intérieur 22 s'ouvre, totalement ou partiellement, dans le logement 5.In FIG. 2, the device is in the neutral position or rest, the cam 19 being arranged coaxially in the axis 25 of the device. The pusher 18 is returned to the projecting position (high position) by the return spring 17 and, the pusher 18 coagulating with the head 15 of the plunger 3, keeps this plunger in neutral position shown in Figure 2 in which the orifice lateral 23 of the inner channel 22 opens, completely or partially, in housing 5.

Dans cette position, le fluide D venant de l'organe commandé (par exemple un distributeur hydraulique) - chambre 13 - passe par le canal 22 et, à travers l'orifice latéral 23, dans le logement 5, pour s'écouler finalement vers le réservoir (retour T).In this position, the fluid D coming from the controlled member (for example a hydraulic distributor) - chamber 13 - goes through the channel 22 and, through the lateral orifice 23, in the housing 5, to finally flow to the tank (return T).

Dans le même temps, la partie terminale 10a du plongeur est engagée dans l'alésage 9 et isole l'une de l'autre les chambres 12 et 13.At the same time, the end portion 10a of the plunger is engaged in bore 9 and isolates chambers 12 from each other and 13.

Lorsqu'on commence à incliner la came 13 et donc à enfoncer le poussoir 18 (fig. 3), le plongeur 3 coulisse dans l'alésage 9 de telle sorte que l'orifice radial 23 du canal intérieur 22 est obturé par l'alésage 9. When we start to tilt the cam 13 and therefore to push in the pusher 18 (fig. 3), the plunger 3 slides in the bore 9 of so that the radial opening 23 of the inner channel 22 is closed by bore 9.

Immédiatement après, la partie terminale 10a du plongeur s'est dégagée de l'alésage 9 : la portion 24 de moindre rayon de la partie active 10 du plongeur et l'alésage 9 définissent entre eux un passage 26 qui établit une liaison entre la chambre 12 et la chambre 13. Le fluide sous pression P peut ainsi commencer à s'écouler en direction du départ D (chambre 13).Immediately after, the terminal portion 10a of the plunger is released from bore 9: the portion 24 of smaller radius of the active part 10 of the plunger and the bore 9 define between them a passage 26 which establishes a connection between the chamber 12 and the chamber 13. The pressurized fluid P can thus begin to flow towards the start D (room 13).

Lorsque le plongeur continue à être déplacé, l'orifice radial 23 s'ouvre d'abord partiellement, puis entièrement en fin de course du plongeur, dans la chambre 12 (fig. 4). Le fluide sous pression P s'écoule alors vers le départ D, d'une part, par le passage 26 précité qui reste ouvert et, d'autre part, par le canal 22.When the plunger continues to be moved, the radial hole 23 first partially opens, then fully at the end of the stroke of the plunger, in chamber 12 (fig. 4). The fluid under pressure P then flows towards the start D, on the one hand, by passage 26 which remains open and, on the other hand, through channel 22.

Différents modes de réalisation peuvent être envisagés pour constituer la portion 24 de rayon moindre de la partie active du plongeur 10.Different embodiments can be envisaged for constitute the portion 24 of smaller radius of the active part of the diver 10.

Une solution peut consister à réaliser ladite portion 24 sous forme annulaire de sorte que la partie active du plongeur se présente, dans cette zone, sous forme de révolution avec un rayon moindre que les deux zones encadrantes 10a et 10b(fig. 5). Cette solution, intéressante quant à la suffisance de la section du passage annulaire 26 ainsi défini, conduit toutefois à un guidage insuffisant du plongeur 3 dans l'alésage 9 (seule la partie de l'alésage comprise entre la chambre 12 et le logement 5 assure le guidage du plongeur lorsque la partie terminale 10a est sortie de l'alésage).One solution may consist in producing said portion 24 in annular form so that the active part of the plunger is, in this zone, in the form of a revolution with a smaller radius than the two framing zones 10 a and 10 b (fig. 5) . This solution, which is advantageous with regard to the sufficiency of the section of the annular passage 26 thus defined, nevertheless leads to insufficient guidance of the plunger 3 in the bore 9 (only the part of the bore comprised between the chamber 12 and the housing 5 ensures guiding the plunger when the end portion 10a is out of the bore).

En pratique, on donnera donc plutôt la préférence à un agencement conduisant au maintien du guidage du plongeur dans la région de celui-ci ayant un moindre rayon ; autrement dit, on donne au plongeur un rayon moindre seulement dans un certain secteur angulaire de celui-ci ou dans certains secteurs angulaires de celui-ci répartis périphériquement. In practice, therefore, preference will rather be given to a arrangement leading to maintaining the guidance of the plunger in the region thereof having a smaller radius; in other words, we give to the diver a smaller radius only in a certain area angular of it or in certain angular sectors of the latter distributed peripherally.

L'amoindrissement de rayon peut être réalisé sous forme d'une surface à rayon de courbure et/ou à centre de courbure différent comme représenté à la figure 6, ce qui conduit à un passage 26 en forme de lunule.The radius reduction can be carried out in the form of a surface with different radius of curvature and / or center of curvature as shown in Figure 6, which leads to a passage 26 in lunula shape.

En pratique, il est plus simple et donc moins coûteux de réaliser cette portion 24 sous forme d'un plat comme illustré à la figure 7.In practice, it is simpler and therefore less expensive to make this portion 24 in the form of a dish as illustrated in figure 7.

Pour obtenir une section de passage suffisante pour le fluide tout en conservant des conditions de guidage satisfaisantes du plongeur, on peut réaliser plusieurs régions de moindre rayon réparties , de préférence de façon sensiblement équidistantes, sur le pourtour de la partie active du plongeur. Ainsi on peut réaliser deux plats diamétralement opposés (fig. 8) ou trois plats décalés angulairenent de 120° (fig. 9). De préférence, on a recours à un agencement à quatre plats (fig. 10) qui combine les avantages d'une grande section globale offerte à l'écoulement de fluide et de surfaces de guidage en nombre suffisant et réparties symétriquement.To obtain a sufficient cross-section for the fluid while maintaining satisfactory guidance conditions of the diver, we can make several regions of smaller radius distributed, preferably substantially equidistantly, over around the active part of the diver. So we can realize two diametrically opposed plates (fig. 8) or three offset plates 120 ° angular (fig. 9). Preferably, a four-course arrangement (Fig. 10) which combines the advantages of a large overall cross-section offered to the flow of fluid and sufficient and distributed guide surfaces symmetrically.

L'agencement conforme à l'invention conduit au résultat avantageux d'établir deux circuits distincts de circulation du fluide, à savoir un circuit assurant la liaison entre les chambres 12 (alimentation à pression P) et 13 (départ D) à travers le passage 26 et le canal 22, et un circuit assurant la liaison entre la chambre 13 (départ D) et le logement 5 (retour au réservoir T). Il en résulte que, grâce à la mise en oeuvre des dispositions de l'invention, la section de passage offerte au fluide est sensiblement accrue par rapport aux dispositifs antérieurs dans lesquels seul le canal intérieur assurait la liaison fluidique.The arrangement according to the invention leads to the result advantageous to establish two separate circulation circuits of the fluid, namely a circuit ensuring the connection between the chambers 12 (pressure supply P) and 13 (flow D) through the passage 26 and channel 22, and a circuit ensuring the connection between chamber 13 (outlet D) and housing 5 (return to tank T). It follows that, thanks to the implementation of the provisions of the invention, the passage section offered to the fluid is significantly increased compared to previous devices in which only the internal channel provided the fluid connection.

En outre, l'usinage du corps 1 peut être simplifié notablement, et donc son prix de revient être abaissé, du fait que, pour former la chambre 12 d'admission du fluide d'alimentation sous la pression P, il n'est plus nécessaire d'usiner l'intérieur de la gorge correspondante, mais on peut réaliser un simple lamage à fond plat concentriquement à la chambre de départ 13.In addition, the machining of the body 1 can be simplified notably, and therefore its cost price to be lowered, because, to form the chamber 12 for admitting the supply fluid under pressure P, it is no longer necessary to machine the interior of the corresponding groove, but a simple counterboring can be carried out flat concentrically with the departure chamber 13.
